Alone
04:12

hello
i am here
is this what there is
why doesn't anyone ever
respond
there are words
but no thoughts
sounds
but no memories
and i don't think
i can take it
anymore
i don't want to be
alone

Metamorphosis
05:05
|
|||
you waited so long to be noticed
the leaves that are falling like sand
this energy you're calling purpose
will it return the time to your hand
there's something different now
in your eyes you're planting gardens
something's changed you now
will you still feel the same
I know you've got to go
but I'm not wanting to do this again
I know I have to let you go
but it's time that I understand
why do we repeat these visits
each time brings a different low
why do we repeat these visits
why don't we just move on what we know
it's a different time
will you jump with me
from this wall we climb
leave this fantasy
windmill's closed
and I am too
behind your eyes
I'll be renewed

Words Fade
04:04
|
|||
time flies
life is crystal
words fade
standing vigil
I see the future
I see you go
still under pressure
and I'm down below
I see the future
I see you go
I see the future
The one I should have known

Tasokare
05:22
|
|||
like waves the night falls down
city stops as the light still shakes
keep waiting till you come around
feeling like
someone is faking
I remember when we were still us
trying just to survive
now that you're someone else
I'm still waiting to arrive
rain falls on the sunset boulevard
as you call it another name
rain falls on the sunset boulevard
cause I'm still the same

Holding On
04:08
|
|||
standing there convinced
see everything I missed
these notes contradict
but
I've got something to hold to
when worries are eclipsed
with everything we'll risk
no better time to commit
you've got something to hold to

Mister Scratch
04:11
|
|||
it's too late
your time's up
see through your disguise
tell your friends
that you're going to
the other side

The Reason
04:14
|
|||
you've been down
riding these waves
you've been down
searching for your place
and I'm no good
still I'd follow you
into the sea
something's got to be
a reason
The Reason
nobody knows you
like I do
listen to me
it's time for new beginnings
I can see through you
that old truth
smoke in the air
a search for simpler feelings
|
||||
10. |
||||
I'm falling up into
the threshold and the thieves
did I steal beyond
or were they following me
they're not here to fight
no
you're here to run
with scenes to fill the quiet
and dreams when they are done
I know it's coming up

Prime Time Totem
04:07
|
|||
looking for old heights
familiar sounds and sights
got it locked up
in your head
in your head
acting like you feel right
on the edge of a knife
cross it out, lock it up
in your head
in your head
but I know your secrets
you've got a tell
I see your visions
you guard them well
these reservations
you still ignore
hoping it'll be
like it was before
feeling that prime time
on that one of a kind
red carpet out all the doors
all the doors
driving down old streets
they all remember me
still frozen, locked in your head
in your head

Bittersweet Silence
04:06
|
|||
if you really meant to go
did you picture it this way
it's the bittersweet silence
arms around the wake
look who never meant to show
and who waited for this day
it's the bittersweet silence
folded over me
far away
so
far away

What the Truth Tells
04:09
|
|||
he lives in a box
in a room
with his thoughts
in the house that he built
each week is the same and
he agrees with the grey though
sometimes the cold is real
those days
when he's there but still gone
there's a vision
behind the light
when he calls himself
I can see his thoughts
before they go with the night
there's something wrong in me
like a wave
it comes and goes again
and each time it pulls from me
leaves a mark
like someone else in my skin
I don't know the truth
or what it tells
but I'm tired of lying
In a box that I made for myself
and I'm tired of hiding
I don't know the truth
or what it tells
but I'm tired of lying
In a box that I made for myself
cause I'm tired of fighting
he returns to the scene though
he missed what it means
in this house that he built
the days are the same
like these words are ingrained
as time comes to stand still
it's hard to make believe
with the visions
behind the light
when he calls himself I
can see his thoughts
before they go with the night

they said go out and chase your dreams
despite being eighteen
just like that it's done
you're done
well
that ship is gone
but here we all are
still hoping in our weakness
that maybe we're better than we thought
there's a place on a playlist
or some Vegas DJ's guestlist
or any other lie that we have bought
they'll listen if I keep it up
all it takes is simple luck
but now you're gonna learn
what we weren't taught
this is as good as it gets
so save up all of your tips
getting too wasted
so we don't have to face it
this is as good as it gets
yeah, we all should admit it
no one's even listening
my parents are the cheer team
and your dreams have gone bad
ringing hollow again and again
while you chase the latest fads
we'll have nothing in the end
so the years have past
like a personal attack
now you fight the trends
but lay awake at night
pushing on at any cost
waiting to become the boss
and though it's self defeating
the message bears repeating:
there's no place on a playlist
no record deals to miss
that crate of CDs no one else
has bought
if all it takes is simple luck
you're out of time to get unstuck
the trap has sprung
but maybe that's what you want
this is as good as it gets
so save up all of your tips
getting too wasted
so we don't have to face it
this is as good as it gets
yeah, we all should admit it
ideas no one will miss
probably should delete this
and your dreams have gone bad
ringing hollow again and again
while you chase the latest fads
we'll have nothing in the end
flipping through the presets
(yoiiiii)
trying to write the big hits
releases coming too slow
you're gone before you even know
that no one ever breaks through
this song will never find you
sitting on a big stage
sun's setting on another day
