Stalemate
04:36
|
|||
|
We find ourselves in a stalemate again
locked up tight in a cage that's paper thin
through the screen we'll decide what's write and wrong
choose a side and hold it tight it's where you belong
fight for the dream, we're on a team and we'll never be wrong
And if they ask you to change
you'll know just what to say
they're so twisted and strange
we don't need them anyway
We put a cover on our only source of light
stuffed it in a little box and sealed it tight
sold for a fee and we'll be in the green overnight
And if they ask you to change
you'll know just what to say
they're so twisted and strange
we don't need them anyway

Lick My Wounds
04:34
|
|||
|
I gotta know, gotta know does the rabbit hole go a little bit deeper than I thought?
everybody seems to have a handle on the situation, but I do not
*I'm falling back*
I gotta find a corner to lick my wounds
*I'm falling back*
gonna hide in the shadows until I feel renewed
Until I'm stronger
I live in fear
unti I somehow find my way back here
just like I told you
I'm coming back
and when I do I'll plan my next attack
I gotta go, gotta go is there ever a way to lay low when the hunter rides at night?
everybody seems to pay no mind until his rifle has them in it's sights
*I'm on the run*
I gotta find some cover from his gun
*I'm on the run*
Until I'm stronger
I live in fear
unti I somehow find my way back here
just like I told you
I'm coming back
and when I do I'll plan my next attack
Build it up so I can see it from a mile away
when the time is right we'll let our new machine out to play
Ready
Ready, aim
Ready, aim, and fire!
Now that we're stronger
we have no fear
and now we finally found our way back here!
just like I told you
I'd make it back
and now I'm ready to attack
Ready to attack
Ready!

Happy Endings
03:09
|
|||
|
you're asking if I still believe in happy endings?
It's getting harder, but I think we have a chance
so if we finally find a key we both can sing in
I'd learn guitar and write a song about our friends
deep in my heart I know that this will soon be over
despite the warning I still think it's worth the pain
but oh, how wrong we can be!
and oh, how strange it may seem
oh, how I wish I could tell if it's real or a dream
and I hope you know what I mean
You're asking if I still believe I've found the answer?
from my experience the answer's mostly no
but every now and then the sky's a little clearer
and once the rain is gone the path begins to show
but oh, how wrong we can be!
and oh, how strange it may seem
oh, how I wish I could tell if it's real or a dream
and I hope you know what I mean

What the Mad Men Made
03:36
|
|||
|
Real life is such a drag
salute your new false flag
every time I get my courage up I slip,
I fall back down again
every time I want to say what's on my mind,
they push me back in line
how could I ever change my ways
somehow I'll try my best to
Stay away from what the mad men made
take a break and let them have their way
as if I had the choice,
don't you dare raise your voice at me
every day just scrolls on by
we never stop to wonder why
why would they ever change their ways?
why would they ever want to
Stay away from what the mad men made
close the gate and let the children play
and when they've had enough,
they'll let the mad men rig the game
rig the game
I want to seize the day
but real life gets in the way
I know that I'll never change my ways
I know that I'll always try to
Stay away from what the mad men made
take the hint and stay the hell away
leave it all and let the mad men play
take the hint and stay the hell away

Slowing Down
03:34
|
|||
|
I'm slowing down
I'm not waiting for the future anymore
and I'll be hanging around
if you want to talk a little more
but if I stay on my cloud
you better stay on yours
don't let me turn it around
'cause I'm slowing down
I'm not running from the future anymore
but I'll still hang around
if you want to talk a little more
but if I stay on my cloud
and you could reach from yours
maybe we'll turn this around
If the rain decides to pass us by,
I'll realize it's true,
I'm ready to be with you
if the sun decides to shine its light,
I'll promise this to you,
I'm ready to be with you
I'm slowing down,
I'm not getting up and heading for the door
and I'll just hang around,
if you want to dream a little more
but if I stay on my cloud
and you want to jump from yours
I'll make sure that I've got room to spare
If the rain decides to pass us by,
I'll realize it's true,
I'm ready to be with you
if the sun decides to shine its light,
I'll promise this to you,
I'm ready to be with you
I'm ready to be with you
I'm ready to be with you

Garden
03:21
|

Deep within the garden
planted in the corner, where the sunlight can't reach
how will you ever become who they want you to be?
so build yourself a mountain
build it up a step at a time until you're out of the shade
how will they measure it up to the progress you've made?
And you say, everything's going wrong
but I believe, you will grow up and move on
deep within the garden
waiting for the rain to wash away your tears
how will you ever begin to conquer your fear?
so find yourself an island
far enough away that you'll never be found
breathe in the air, and soak in the ground
you say, you'll never feel quite at home
but I believe you'll find it out there on your own
deep with in the garden
everyone is noticing you and starting to smile
you're back on your feet and ready to fly for while
you can go and leave this old garden behind
I know, everything else will be fine
I know, everything else will be fine
everything else will be fine

Anemoia
04:30

Time won't borrow
I lost a year but I'm holding on
and this line I follow
leads me to the edge of a waterfall
and every night I wonder
where the time seems to go
Filling in the blanks just to jog the memory again
it took a while to find but no one can deny that it's there
searching every corner of my mind to find the right place and time
sing my sorrow
I lost my way to the lost and found
and I'm three days sober
remember a place that I've never been before
and if I ever get to see it
I hope I never have to leave
Filling in the blanks just to jog the memory again
it took a while to find but no one can deny that it's there
searching every corner of my mind to find the right place and time, oh
Anemoia
hope I don't forget
Time won't borrow
this'll be the year I was looking for
Filling in the blanks just to jog the memory again
it took a while to find but no one can deny that it's there
searching every corner of my mind to find the right place and time, oh
searching every corner of my mind to find the right place and time, oh
searching every corner of my mind to find the right place and time

Come Tomorrow
03:57
|
|||
|
We walked on
far beyond anything fun
and everything under the sun
we don't know
where we'll go with everything so
how could we ever say no?
If the times change then come tomorrow morning we'll say
still a lot more than if we just threw it away
come tomorrow
gone today
scarlet skies
heavy eyes dropping so fast
even this moment must past
colder nights
in our sights until we light
we'll just keep holding on tight
If the times change then come tomorrow morning we'll say
still a lot more than if we just threw it away
come tomorrow
gone today
If the times change then come tomorrow morning we'll say
still a lot more than if we just threw it away
come tomorrow
gone today
come tomorrow
gone today

Spinning Plates
05:20
|
|||
|
Give me a second just to breathe
I need to let off some steam
working my hands to the bone is fine,
as long as you don't mind when they bleed
so burn the candle from both ends
and put another iron on the fire
everybody needs it all at once
with every request the pile gets higher
it gets higher
Hope I don't lose my balance
spinning all these plates again
if one falls all will follow
crashing down on top of me
spinning plates
add one more until I start to break
spinning plates
*keep spinning*
how much more am I supposed to take?
No amount of sleep could save me from
the perpetual exhaustion that I feel
when it rains, it pours and in my case
it seems the floodgates have broken their seal
someday I'll let this burden go
and float away just like a balloon
until that day I keep my head down low
and I hope my relief is coming soon
please come back soon
Hope I don't lose my balance
spinning all these plates for you
if one falls, all will follow
crashing down on top of me
spinning plates
add one more and I'll begin to break
spinning plates
how much more am I supposed to take?
I can't stop
until I drop
all these plates
and I've had about enough
I don't care if they break
I can't stop
until I drop
all these plate
and I've had about enough
I don't care if they break
I can't stop
until I drop
all these plates
and I've had about enough
I don't care if they break
