I'm so sick and tired
of all these things
that drag me down
I've got no where to go
they say that life
is in these hands
you give everything
you give yourself away you give
and still you choke
and find yourself running for the door
come and take me
home
lead me to your door
take me where you are
lead me to your door
at least just for a while
its some kind of life
forever days
we're in the cold
unfamiliar way
so take this fear
and fade it out
it won't make me sad
cause I get sentimental lord
in other ways
and I don't want to let me down here anymore
so come and take me home
lead me to your door
take me where you are
lead me to your door
and let me in
just let me in
and let me leave
just let me leave this world
come on now let me leave this world
at least just for a while

Collide
04:35
|
|||
When I came here there was more
now I've come back to destroy
and I've got nothing left
Its a shame what we've become
when we hurt the ones we love
its a place I can not go - anymore
When we Collide we lose ourselves
When we Collide we break in two
and as we push and we shove
and we hurt the ones we love
its a hard mistake
when we collide, we break
when the calm comes crashing down
and the fight lost what its about
I could tell that you had left
its a shame what we've become
when we hurt the ones we love
its a place I can not go - anymore
When we Collide we lose ourselves
When we Collide we break in two
and as we push and we shove
and we hurt the ones we love
its a hard mistake
when we collide
its a hard mistake
when we collide
its a mistake
When we Collide we lose ourselves
When we Collide we break in two
and as we push and we shove
and we hurt the ones we love
its a hard mistake
when we collide
when we collide
its a hard mistake
when we collide
we break

Candleburn
04:25
|

on Vineland past the candle shrine
that burns on every night
for someone
she lets herself go
like an angel in the snow
she lays down on her back
down on her back - she goes
take me over when I'm gone
take me over make me strong
take me over when I'm gone
will they burn for me
on Vineland past the candle shrine
that melts into the street design
she waits - for someone
tonight she'll give herself away
she'll break apart all by herself
its so easy how we come undone
take me over when I'm gone
take me over make me strong
take me over when I'm gone
will they burn for me
she pulls me in - strips me down
she pulls me in - turns me out
she pulls me in - strips me down
take me over when I'm gone
take me over make me strong
take me over when I'm gone
will they burn for me
will they burn for me

Give
06:30
|
|||
I have felt the comfort
Now what did I do to disappoint you?
Idle my emptiness
And it keeps returning to remind me
That I want to remain
A child with you forever
And hear as you lay before me
You tease me and tell me to stay
But what would you give
What would you give
I have given everything I could
But I don't think it really matters
Maybe nothing does
And how it keeps returning to remind me
That I want to remain
A child with you forever
And hear as you lay before me
You tease me and tell me to stay
What would you give?
What would you give?
I want to remain
A child with you forever
And hear as you lay before me
You tease me and tell me to stay
What would you give?
What would you give?
What would you give?
What would you give?

Mad Life
05:35
|
|||
sweet life I know
how we give it all
hold me up
hold me up into the sun and watch me burn
come undone
it can come apart when everything seems lost
its insane
how I try to find what to believe in
its a mad life that we know
won't give it up with the beauty all around
its a mad life that we know
still we give it all
hold me up
when I try to give and all I get is hurt
its okay
that I feel faded today
and lord I know
that I can find some peace
in this world
in this world
its a mad life that we know
still inside is beauty all around
its a mad life that we know
will we give it all away
sweet life I know
will it fade away
sweet life I know
can we give enough before we come undone
before we come undone
I'm waiting for the love to come around
and save us from ourselves
its a mad life that we know
can I see only beauty all around
its a mad life that we know
still we give it all
see the pain and beauty all around
see it try so hard to take me down
hold me up into the sun and watch me burn and watch me heal
how I Need someone to know that I feel faded today

Charlie Brown's Parents
05:03
|

I can't hear what you're saying
What you're doing to me
It would take the jaws of life to pry open your words
So pry open your words
-
I don't want to talk about Elvis
No I don't want to go on pretending - NO
Because It feels like I'm talking to
Talking to Charlie Brown's Parents
It feels like I'm talking to
A lonely man without a vision
Stuffed his mouth with indecision
Why he's a lonely man without a vision
Stuffed his mouth with indecision
I can't hear what you're saying
What you're doing to me
Can't you see
It would take the jaws of life to pry open your words
I don't want to talk about Jesus
And I don't want to go on converting, no
because It feels like I'm talking to
Talking to Charlie Brown's Parents
If feels like I'm talking to
A lonely man without a vision
Stuffed his mouth with indecision
why He's a lonely man without a vision
Stuffed his mouth with indecision - ohhh
cause I can't hear what you're saying
What you're doing to me
Can't you see
It would take the jaws of life to pry open your words
Why he's a lonely man without a vision
Stuffed his mouth with indecision
He's a lonely man without a vision
Stuffed his mouth with indecision
I can't hear what you're saying
What you're doing to me
Can't you see
It would take the jaws of life to pry open your words
To pry open your words

Angels or Devils
04:43
|
|||
this is the last time
that I'm ever gonna come here tonight
this is the last time - I will fall
into a place that fails us all - inside
I can see the pain in you
I can see the love in you
but fighting all the demons will take time
it will take time
the angels they burn inside for us
are we ever
are we ever gonna learn to fly
the devils they burn inside of us
are we ever gonna come back down
come around
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold
this is the last time
that I'm ever gonna give in tonight
are there angels or devils crawling here?
I just want to know what blurs and what is clear - to see
still I can see the pain in you
and I can see the love in you
and fighting all the demons will take time
it will take time
the angels they burn inside for us
are we ever
are we ever gonna learn to fly
the devils they burn inside of us
are we ever gonna come back down - come around
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could break us
if I was to give in - give it up
- and then
take a breath - make it deep
cause it might be the last one you get
be the last one
that could make us cold
you know that they could make us cold
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold

Every Little Thing
05:25
|
|||
Let me in
to see you in the morning light
to get me on and all along the tears they come
see all come
I want you to believe in life
but I get the strangest feeling that you've gone away
will you find out who you are too late to change?
I wish I could be
every little thing you wanted
all the time
lift me up
just lift me up don't make a sound
and let me hold you up before you hit the Ground
see all come
you say your all right
but I get the strangest feeling
that you've gone away- you've gone away
and will you find out who you are too late to change?
I wish I could be
every little thing you wanted
all the time

Until I Wake Up
04:52
|
|||
I rest my head
Between the bed and sky
Download my dread
Disarm my mind, make it dry
Nothing in motion, and I’m satisfied
No disappointment, until I wake up
I Don’t want to wake up
Into clear space
Vivid vision, see her shape
At my bedside, beam up my mind please
Nothing in motion, and I’m satisfied
No disappointment, until I wake up
I Don’t want to wake up

Nashville Skyline
04:32
|
|||
Don't go on
looking for the love
in the illusion of it all
the answers in the dream
cause I have been through mire and confusion
I am free
and as far as I can see
is Nashville skyline
underneath it all
you yourself are free
14 hours ago
I was living in a dream
I was living for the scene
I was floating high above
cause I have been through mire and confusion
I am free
as far as I can see
is Nashville skyline
underneath it all
you yourself are free
floating high above
the Nashville skyline
and underneath it all
yourself are free
you yourself are
forevermore is the love that you need to believe
and you yourself are there
floating high above
the Nashville skyline

Counting Blue Cars
05:01
|
|||
Must of been mid afternoon
I could tell by how far the child's shadow stretched out and
He walked with a purpose
In his sneakers, down the street
He had, many questions
Like children often do
He said,
"Tell me all your thoughts on God?"
"Tell me am I very far?"
Must of been late afternoon
On our way the sun broke free of the clouds
We count only blue cars
Skip the cracks, in the street
And ask many questions
Like children often do
We said,
"Tell me all your thoughts on God?"
cause I'd really like to meet her
and ask her why we're who we are
"Tell me all your thoughts on God?"
cause Im on my way to see her
so tell me am I very far
am I very far now
Its getting cold picked up the pace
How our shoes make hard noises in this place
Our clothes are stained
We pass many, cross eyed people
And ask many questions
Like children often do
