Are you gonna live your life wonderin’ standing in the back lookin’ around?

Are you gonna waste your time thinkin' how you’ve grown up or how you missed out?

Things are never gonna be the way you want.

Where's it gonna get you acting serious?

Things are never gonna be quite what you want.

Or even at 25, you gotta start sometime.

I’m on my feet, I’m on the floor, I’m good to go.

Now all I need is just to hear a song I know.

I wanna always feel like part of this was mine.

I wanna fall in love tonight.

Are you gonna live your life standing in the back looking around?

Are you gonna waste your time?

Gotta make a move or you'll miss out.

Someone's gonna ask you what it’s all about.

Stick around nostalgia won't let you down.

Someone's gonna ask you what it’s all about.

Whatcha gonna have to say for yourself?

I’m on my feet, I’m on the floor, I’m good to go.

Now all I need is just to hear a song I know.

I wanna always feel like part of this was mine.

I wanna fall in love tonight.

Crimson and clover, over and over.

Crimson and clover, over and over.

Our house in the middle of the street, why did we ever meet?

Started my rock 'n roll fantasy.

Don't don't, don't let's start, why did we ever part?

Kick start my rock 'n rollen heart.

I’m on my feet, I’m on the floor, I’m good to go.

So come on Davey, sing me somethin’ that I know.

I wanna always feel like part of this was mine.

I wanna fall in love tonight.

Here tonight.

I wanna always feel like part of this was mine

I wanna fall in love tonight.

Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out or
looked down on.
Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle, it'll up the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be allright.
Hey, you know they're all the same.
You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in.
Live right now.
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be allright.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be allright.
Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out or
looked down on.
Just do your best, do everything you can.
And don't you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be allright.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be allright.

when you're on....i swear......you're on
you rip my heart right out you rip my heart right out
i think the whole room can hear me clear my throat
you rip my heart right out you rip my heart right out
if you still care at all don't go tell me now
if you love me at all don't call

then out of no where you put me right back there
you rip my heart right out you rip my heart right out

if you still care at all don't go tell me now
if you love me at all please don't tell me now
if you still care at all don't go tell me now
if you love me at all don't call

i throw away everything i've written you...

sometimes i wish i could lose you...
again

your winning me over with everything you say
you rip my heart right out you rip my heart right out
when i let you closer.... i only want you closer.....
you rip my heart right out you rip my heart right out

if you still care at all don't go tell me now
if you love me at all please don't tell me now
if you still care at all don't go tell me now
if you love me at all don't call

If you're listening

Sing it back

String from your tether unwinds
Up and outward to bind

I was spinning free

with a little sweet
and simple numbing me
Are you listening

Sing it back

So tell me what do I need

when the words
lose their meaning

I was spinning free

with a little sweet
and simple numbing me
Yeah stumble until you crawl

Sinking into sweet uncertainty

If you're listening
Are you listening
Sing it back

I'm still running away

I won't play your hide and seek game

I was spinning free

with a little sweet
and simple numbing me
What a dizzy dance

This sweetness will not be
concerned with me
No the sweetness will not be
concerned with me

There's no one in town I know
You gave us someplace to go
I never said thank you for that
I thought I might get one more chance
What would you think of me now
So lucky so strong so proud
Never said thank you for that
Now I'll never have a chance
May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads
the sleepless go
May angels lead you in

So what would you think of me now
So lucky so strong so proud
I never said thank you for that
Now I'll never have a chance
May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads
the sleepless go
May angels lead you in
May angels lead you in
May angels lead you in
May angels lead you in
May angels lead you in

And if you were with me tonight
I'd sing to you just one more time
A song for a heart so big
God wouldn't let it live
May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads
the sleepless go
May angels lead you in
May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads
the sleepless go
May angels lead you in

The time I would spend with pictures I would not send.
I watched you go from left to right.
I followed you all night across my blinds.
You'll change your mind come monday and turn your back on me.
You'll take your steps away with hesitance.
Take your steps away from me.
I'm making my peace, making it with distance.
Maybe that's a big mistake.
You know I'm thinking of you.
I miss you.
You'll change your mind come monday and turn your back on me.
You'll take your steps away with hesitance.
You'll take your steps away from me.
You'll change your mind come monday and turn your back on me.
Take your steps away with hesitance.
Take your steps away from me.

It’s how the hustle goes, see what the jukebox knows.
Put my last quarter on, I play "Authority Song".
Honesty or mystery?
Tell me I’m not scared anymore.
I got no secret purpose, I don’t seem obvious do I?
I don’t seem obvious do I?
The DJ never has it, J A M C Automatic.
If those were Roy's headphones, you bet he'd play "What Goes On".
Honesty or mystery?
Tell me I’m not scared anymore.
I got no secret purpose, I don’t seem obvious do I?
I don’t seem obvious do I?
Oh I'm here, that means something doesn't it?
Oh won’t you dance with me a little bit?
Oh you don’t notice, I guess the music’s too loud.
It’s how the hustle goes, see what the jukebox knows.

Tell me I’m not scared anymore.
Say anything you want already I’m not scared anymore.
Honesty or mystery?
Want something else?
Just tell me I’m not scared anymore.
I got no secret purpose, I don’t seem obvious do I?
I don’t seem obvious do I?

I see it around me
I see it in everything
I could be so much more than this

I said my goodbyes
This is my sundown
I'm going to be so much more than this

With one hand high you'll show them your progress
You'll take your time
But no one cares
No one cares

I need you to show me the way from crazy
I want to be so much more than this

With one hand high you'll show them your progress
You'll take your time
But no one cares
No one cares (4x

i've been now sauntering out and down a path sometime
it takes me nowhere which i knew
i need a reason
call it treason
maybe catch her i don't know
too Much to know

bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind
lady screaming, lady leave
'cause sometimes people stare
coming down, electric chair
and steaming crowds they gather and they shout

don't know why this evil follows me
so why is he trying to follow me?
how many reasons do they need?
i might just be right this time
i might just believe this time

its a new religion
i'm talking for free, i can't stop myself
i've something to see, i can't help myself
(its a new religion)

Is it dark yet outside?
I'm through hiding tonight

Take from the rest, your debt erased
Sleep with my curse and feel no shame, no shame

It might take you your life
But you'll love me with time

Take from the rest, your debt erased
Sleep with my curse and feel no shame, no shame

Take from the rest, your debt erased
Sleep with my curse and feel no shame, no shame

Is it dark yet outside?
I'm through hiding tonight

Take from the rest your debt erased
Sleep with my curse and feel no shame, no shame

Take from the rest your debt erased
Sleep with my curse and feel no shame, no shame

Well, you're just across the street, looks a mile to my feet
I want to go to you
Funny how I'm nervous still, I've always been the easy kill
I guess I always will

Could it be that everything goes 'round by chance?
Or only one way that it was always meant to be?
You kill me, you always know the perfect thing to say
I know what I should do but I just can't walk away

I can picture your face well from the bar in my hotel
I wish I'd go to you
I pick up, put down the phone, like your favorite Heatmiser song goes
It's just like being alone

Oh god, please don't tell me this has been in vain
I need answers for what all the waiting I've done means
You kill me, you've got some nerve but can't face your mistakes
I know what I should do but I just can't turn away

So go on love, leave while there's still hope for escape
You gotta take what you can these days
There's so much ahead
And so much regret

I know what you want to say
I know it but can't help feeling differently
I loved you and I should have said it
But tell me just what was it ever meant?

I can't help it, baby, this is who I am
I'm sorry but I can't just go turn off how I feel
You kill me, you build me up but just to watch me break
I know what I should do but I just can't walk away

This time it's on my own
Minutes from somewhere else
Somewhere I made a wish
With lucky Denver mints

You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?

Hurry, go on ahead
Good things won't let you wait
I'll catch up when we get home
At home I'll leave

A dollar under water
Keeps on dreaming for me

Before this world starts up again
It's me and night
We wait for the sun
The kids and drunks head back inside

Well there's lots of smart ideas
In books I've never read
When the girls come talk to me
I wish to hell I had

Get up! Get up!
Turn the ignition
Get up! Get up!
Fire up the system
Play my little part in something big

I'll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they'll say: “all the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice”
I'm the one who gets away
I'm a New Jersey success story
And they'll say: “Lord give me the chance to shake that hand!”
They'll say…

Back when I was younger,
I was someone you'd have liked
Got an old guitar I've had for years
I'd let you buy
And I'll tell you something else
That you ain't died enough to know
There's still some living left when your prime comes and goes

Get up! Get up!
Dance on the ceiling?
Get up! Get up!
Boy you must be dreaming
Rock on young saviour
Just don't get up your hopes

I'll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they'll say: “all the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice”
I'm the one who gets away
I'm a New Jersey success story
And they'll say: “Lord give me the chance to shake that hand!”

I have one last wish
And it's from my heart
Just let me down
Just let me down easy

I'll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they'll say: “all the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice”
I'm the one who gets away
I'm a New Jersey success story
And they'll say: “Lord give me the chance to shake his hand!”
They'll say…

I have a ringing in my head
And no one to help me answer it
Even with you close enough to kiss
Every minute is arranged
Every moment lasts a day
But thinking about it can't help me let go
I know

Talk, talking a lot
But it's still talk
Gotta love how it's somehow all on me
All the petty scenes
And all the pretty things
Say whatever you want
'Cause I can laugh it off
Heh heh heh, heh heh
I can laugh it off
Heh heh heh, heh heh

I must look like I'm running away
To you at your faster pace
I wonder what it is you could have seen
In me

I'm the evil one who said
Gonna let everything just happen
Just like my chest, my ears are proud
The collision is such an ugly sound

I can hear you now

Talk, talking a lot
But it's still talk
Gotta love how it's somehow all on me
All the petty scenes
And all the pretty things
Say whatever you want
'Cause I can laugh it off

Talk, talking a lot
But it's still talk
Gotta love how it's somehow all on me
And all the placings
And all the pretty things
Say whatever you want
'Cause I can laugh it off
Heh heh heh, heh heh
I can laugh it off
Heh heh heh, heh heh

Heh heh heh, heh heh
Heh heh heh, heh heh
I can hear you now

Talk, talking a lot
But it's still talk
Gotta love how it's somehow all on me
All the petty scenes
And all the pretty things
Say whatever you want
'Cause I can laugh it off

Talk, talking a lot
But it's still talk
Gotta love how it's somehow all on me
All the petty scenes
And all the pretty things
Say whatever you want
'Cause I can laugh it off

Could have been a night like any other
One of us has to drive
One of us gets to think
I'll force a laugh to break the silence
It's gonna get harder still
Before it gets easy
You can't keep safe what wants to break

I'm alone in this
I'm as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's lost in this
She's like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach

I was just a boy like every other
I thought I was something fierce
I thought I was ten times smarter
Love would be something that I just know
How you gonna know the feeling
'Til you've lost it?
I've been losing plenty since

I'm alone in this
I'm as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's lost in this
She's like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach

Maybe something else I'm missing
Something good and you're the reason
It's a dream
But there's a real world waiting

I'm alone in this
I'm as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's lost in this
She's like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach

I'm alone in this
I'm as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's lost in this
She's like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach

When I know I'm all alone
I say your name slowly
And I know that I'm alone
But I carry you

Does it feel good like the memory
When you try some history?
It's a dream to come around
The rule doesn't bend
Because the taste doesn't taste the same again

It's easy feeling righteous when removed
All you'll get is what you want to hear
It hurts because it should
How else am I to make it clear?

I could never be the one that you want
Don't ask
Well, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed

Maybe a lie is what I need sometimes
You told the most, the best of anyone
You said to keep me in your pocket
So I carried you

You better choose your words carefully
Because I'm not your anything
Going to stay here in my place
And you'll stay in yours
Because you're only good as what you're good for

I pace around the room to spend the time
Waiting while the burning pictures fade
One thing to make your mind
And another to say its name

I could never be the one that you want
Don't ask
Well, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed
It passed

Doo doo doo-doo-doo, doo doo doo-doo
Doo doo doo-doo-doo, doo doo doo-doo

Doo doo doo-doo-doo, doo doo doo-doo
I'm still carrying a little hope
Doo doo doo-doo-doo, doo doo doo-doo
That maybe things could be different now
Doo doo doo-doo-doo, doo doo doo-doo
Is that so wrong? Is that so wrong?
Doo doo doo-doo-doo, doo doo doo-doo
Is that so wrong?

Would I see you tonight
At a place we'd go?
Could going through the motions
Lead to real emotion?
I want to make things right
Before time runs out
It was like you said
The taste don't taste like it should
Roll down the windows
Let the cold air come in, yeah
Slap my face just to feel
Just to feel you somehow again, yeah

I could never be the one that you want
Don't ask
Well, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed

I could never be the one that you want
Don't ask
Yeah, here's to living in the moment
Because it passed, it passed

Doo doo doo-doo-doo, doo doo doo-doo
Doo doo doo-doo-doo, doo doo doo-doo
'Cause it passed, passed
Doo doo doo-doo-doo, doo doo doo-doo
Doo doo doo-doo-doo, doo doo doo-doo
It passed

I came up like everyone
They taught us all the same
I said what they told me to say
And then from that, they grade

Give up repeating the facts
Fact can be arranged
Here I am, I'll take my chance
Now play the record straight

Give it up
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh
Give it up
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh

Talking points from talking heads
With automated smiles
"There's no higher ground to stand
Than bottom of the pile"

Give up acting unaware
You can't ignore the crime
The enemy is you as well
The enemy is I

Give it up
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh
Give it up
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh
Give it up
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh
Give it up
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh

Not in my name
You don't speak for me
I am my voice
And I want to scream
You want my air?
You want my love?
I act as one
But I'm not alone

Oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh
Give it up
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh
Give it up
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh
Give it up
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh
Give it up
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh
Give it up
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh

Let the water come
She's the only one I love
Let the fat man drop
She's the sweetest honey pop

Will they see the sky again?
Who will sing their blues for them?

Let the factories rust
She's the only thing I trust
Let the virus spread
She's the silk lining my bed

Will they breathe our air again?
Who will sing their blues for them?

When you're feeling moved
You can have your conscience all you want
You can't say I do nothing
Yeah, I put it off

Where are you gonna go if they come for you?
Will there be someone left to sing your blues?
Where you gonna run when they come for you?
Will there be someone left to sing your blues?

There's a chance
One of us will give in soon
I could ask
But what's an answer gonna prove?

When I try to get mad
But the fever drops
My heart can't break
'Cause the beating stops
You suck that lucky feeling right out of me

Want a laugh?
Take a look around the room
It's a dance
Tired steps in brand new shoes

I can only take a guess
What the morning brings
If it feels too good
Then it probably is
You suck that lucky feeling right out of me

I follow your sign where it leads
I go
But you turn your back so easily
It tells me everything I need, yeah

Waiting or the line
To move a foot, yeah
Wasting my life
On nothing good
You suck that lucky feeling right out of me

I should act
Tie it down or cut you loose
It's a trap
Any direction I move

When I try to sing along
The needle skips
I huff and then I puff
But the house is brick
You suck that lucky feeling right out of me
Yeah, you suck that lucky feeling right out of me
Yeah, yeah, you suck that lucky feeling right out of me
Yeah

On, it's on
I declare my room a scene
Gone, then gone
It's too much that they say you need
It's not perfection
How boring if it is
Nothing new for me

Light on up
With everybody watching you
Lights go down
Everything is yours to lose
First dancer takes the floor
Laugh what you can't ignore
Whatcha' gonna do

Waiting for attention?
I'm not
Cut it to the left
And I rock
Need an invitation?
I don't
Slide it to the right
And I roll

Here it goes
Crowning of the cool kid queen
There it goes
The competition show their teeth
I'll let them fight it out
It's just my party now
What I want to be

Step on up
Everyone in queue, in costume
Step on out
Don't get sucked in for a second
The bright lights might say your name
But they only light the stage
Nothing there to prove

Waiting for attention?
I'm not
Cut it to the left
And I rock
Need an invitation?
I don't
Slide it to the right
And I roll

Waiting for attention
I'm not
Cut it to the left
And I rock
Need an invitation
I don't
Slide it to the right
And I roll

Don't accept critique or credit
Their definition always changes
It's not the same as yours
You could be so much more
The closer that you get

Waiting for attention
I'm not
Cut it to the left
And I rock
Need an invitation
I don't
Slide it to the right
And I roll

Waiting for attention
I'm not
Cut it to the left
And I rock
Need an invitation
I don't
Slide it to the right
And I roll

I'm a suspect, I'm a traitor
I'm only here in body visiting
Yellow faces and the distant screams
The beauty is in what isn't said
I'm rising to my feet

Because tonight, the world turned in me
Because right now, I don't dare to breathe
Oh, babe, I know
It's alive, and somewhere for us to find tonight
Chase this light with me

My gesso, my last call
My life is yours in your gifted hands
Confetti rainfall and the quiet street
These things I've found are special now
The knot is in my reach

Because tonight, the world turned in me
Because right now, I don't dare to breathe
Oh, babe, I know
It's alive and somewhere for us to find tonight
Chase this light with me

Movie still-photograph
Through a martyr's eyes I can see
I've seen the best of love, the best of hate, the best reward is earned
And I've paid for every single word I ever said

Confetti rainfall in the quiet streets
The beauty is in what you make it
So get up on your feet

Because tonight, the world turned in me
Because right now, I don't dare to breathe
Oh, babe, I know
It's alive and somewhere for us to find tonight
Chase this light with me

Oh, babe, I know
It's alive and somewhere for us to find tonight
Chase this light with me

This is where our diligence has led
The waves roll in to claim our patient steps
Can we become more than just ourselves
And leave the sand our want, our will, our doubt?

It's firefight, and I, I won't run
There's spit and spite all through my blood
For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide
Except you and me, there's no one else alive

This is now the moment after next
Are these still the eyes of the temptress?
Why open a door if you won't go?
Don't ask twice if you don't wanna know

It's firefight, and I, I won't run
There's spit and spite all through my blood
For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide
Except you and me, there's no one else alive

Is there an answer?
And if it's an honest one
Honestly worth its question
There's no question
The city as my witness
I am who I want to be
But you could be anything
Just be anything and with me

Love is quartz and breath the second hand
If you let go then that's where time will stand

It's firefight, I won't run
There is spit and spite all through my blood
For you and me there's nowhere left to hide
Except you and me, there's no on else alive

You close your eyes and kiss your hand then you blow it
But it isn't meant for me, and I notice
If the choice was ours alone,
Then why'd we both choose letting go?
Does it end like this?

Time never had a chance to heal your heart
Just a number always counting down to a new start
If you always knew the truth
Then the world will spin around you
Are you dizzy yet?

Respectfully, some honesty I'm calling out
Do you hear the conversation we talk about?
Oh back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there's half a chance in this moment
When your eyes meet mine, we show it

All talk and not a lot to think, we are living dreams
And shame never crept close to our naked feet
If there's something left to lose
Then don't let me wear out my shoes
I'm still walking.

I tried, but it rang and rang, I called all night
On a payphone, remember those from another life?
If everything I meant to you
You can lick and seal then fold in two
Then I've been so blind

Respectfully, some honesty I'm asking now
Do you hear the conversation we talk about?
Oh back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there's half a chance in this moment
When your eyes meet mine, we show it

Oh, oh take it all back, take your first, your last, your only.
Oh, oh take it all back, take it all back,
Everything you showed me.
Oh, oh, this must be how it feels
When the feeling goes.

I told your eyes, I haven't...I've never felt this way
You said I have this shot that stops my clock
Baby it's okay
You said you'd never have regrets
Jesus, is there's someone yet who got that wish?
Did you get yours, babe?

Respectfully, some honesty I'm asking now
Do you hear the conversation we talk about?
I'll back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there's half a chance in this moment
When your eyes meet mine, we show it

Let me have the keys and you can take a rest
From one lifeless main street until the next
Who knows what there was to see
Before the light turned green
There's so much here to learn.
The static or the silence don't know which is worse
The dial isn't broken that's the way it works.
To the new professionals,
Irregular is normal.
It'll all in how you pray
Not what needs to change.

Don't get comfortable
Don't be sensible
Swing with all you have
Stop me if you can.

Imagine we had canvas with our midnight cold
We'd dig our fingers in and then we'd watch the snow.
Maybe i need stronger meds,
Don't let those feelings in
I can't get closer now.
Matter's straight across and just for me to use.
But theres always another choice, another way through
The notes of progress float along,
Over your candle song.
The game is how you play,
Not who wears a ring.

Don't get comfortable
Don't be sensible
Swing with all you have
Stop me if you can.

I'm on the losing side
Not everytime
I'm gonna lose this love of mine.
Here are the words to find
Not one is mine
Why are we still so afraid?
The things we do deserve their rightful names.

Don't get comfortable
Don't be sensible
Swing with all you have
Stop me if you can.

Don't get comfortable
Don't be sensible
Swing with all you have
Stop me if you can.

I'm on the losing side
Not everytime
I'm gonna lose this love of mine.
Here are the words to find
Not one is mine
Why are we still so afraid?
The things we do deserve their rightful names.

Play your hand, don't play it off.
Don't play that game.
Out of touch.
There is no pride in seconds lost.

First cello suite.
I know I'm late, what do you care?
Stop dragging feet.
We can't go back for seconds lost.

(Chorus) Drive by don't stop X2
Hate wins don't stop X2

Smooth the sheets.
Noone was here and never will.
Wind your watch for seconds gone... Chorus

Where you're hiding, the shine off the wall.
Stop giving it up now,
'Cos you're gonna find yourself a mastermind in time.
Rockstar, what's mine is yours.
Rockstar, you're looking good.
You're looking to find a fight.

I'm the stranger here you know.
Can't you understand that things always work out my way today?
Rockstar, what's mine is yours.
Rockstar, you're looking good.
You're looking to find a fight.

Rockstar. Rockstar.
Get off my battlefield.
You could not take it back from me.
It's all the way up top.
Cannot take a longer way.
Get off my battlefield.
Could not take it back from you.
It's all the way up top.
Cannot take a longer way.

That's all.
It's all.
Can't fall Away.
Back.

One chance to show your face
that's one shot, all you get
pass by your one good thing
lift your head back shoot and chase
never hear you laugh like that, so full
not since you were nine
unsettled, severing always severing old ties
one last good-bye... may last the rest of your life

Learn your restricted ropes,
Paint a cross on your left hand.
One good thing signed away
And with it your only hope
Attention focused on today
So quiet slip behind my back
unsettled, severing always severing dead ties
one last good-bye... may last the rest of your life...

One-way trip can work both ways
And loose ends kept untied make better friends
The things you buy may someday leave you

Can you say full ride? Can you say... X2

Leave home today.
Escape your region.
It's in your head.
Keep moving on.

(Choose,) No way to retrace,
(Starlight.) all your good days,

It is gone.
(Choose,) None of you knew,

It is gone.

Become your dad.
Live unquestioned.
It's in your head.
Nostalgia is death.

Hung up here on a web of comfort
Taking off with nowhere to go
Standing tall with your new cloak armor
Making out like it's all been done
Its harder than it seems
You slip but never fall
They'll take you, where you wont come back to me
They'll take you, where you wont come back to me
Tearing down what we build up so well
Laying low, as you came my way
Look alive with your head on backwards
Going off, when theres nothing wrong
It's only in your dreams
But it felt like it was real
They'll take you where you wont come back to me
They'll take you where you wont come back to me
Hang loose, my friend dont walk away from me
'Cause i really think you're cool
Is it worth turning back, despite these open hands
You're tearing me apart
They'll take you, where you wont come back to me
They'll take you, where you wont come back to me
(you need to find yourself)
They'll take you, where you wont come back to me
(you need to find yourself)
They'll take you, where you wont come back to me

Episode IV leads us away from here.
don't expect to find what you're (looking to).
i can see the light leading away from you.
let's disappear, we'll take a trip of no return to outer space.
and swim in pools which keep us warm, cleaned off the sand from off your feet.
we'll dance off time to the songs we've never liked.
and sing off key thinking it sounds all right.
and you know I almost lost my will to live.
(we're sure) you tell time in your.

Pay attention.
stop paying for regret.
fossil resources all used up.
make the best use of your time.
you could be on to something.
too skeptic too tired to care.
they all seem to know at once.
sweet muse left me all alone.
there's only my weight left.
euthanasia could be the greatest gift.
wait outside your house to come back out.
edge said it best.
save the long car ride home.
don't leave the house today.
nothing lost but still nothing gained.
no possibilities.
all wasted all gone over.
life means i hear my ears ring one more day.
you all see right through at once.
sweet muse, she won't be around today.
things that i could not say.
are you through yet.
are you gone yet.

you're on and off.
phase in phase out.
cross your heart crash burn and fall.
under cushions hide the change.
so no one knows.
just be careful who you tell.
i really want to care when you say
: "i'll change that".
i just don't feel a thing when you say:
"we'll get there...someday"

A monster lives in your backyard.
The two by fours are making their way around.

The big get bigger when the fight's done.
I found that secret door.
A man with a shovel's gonna dig deep down to find out where it feeds.
A house.

A catalog full of nothing good.
The white house ponders no remorse.

The big get bigger when the fight's done.
I found that secret door.
A man with a shovel's gonna dig deep down to find out where it feeds.
A house.

It seems like a drag to be torn apart by unexpected hands.
It's in your name, it's in your face, I'm wrong again.
I'm wrong again.
I'm wrong again.
I'm wrong again.
I'm wrong again.
I'm wrong again.

The longest time away.
think last time the friends we made.
the longest time away.
best friend is too cheap to stay.
of course i'll go with you, not every day i get to.
of course i'll stay with you, how often.
pictures tell so much.
they remind me often.
your voice brings back so much... situations.
between the money and your every move, acceptance.
between the money and your every move.
we both know things never change.
we both know static prevails.
take a seat at your request.
five years i'm still there.
the longest time away, my friend.

Fingers in, listen what voices say.
you always wrote for me, ego.
risk worth taking risk worth leaving.
seems i'm still afraid to promise.
too big to stop too big to hold down.
trade up for the fast ride.
trade your friends.
train passes us.
pulling your teeth you push away.
cancel plans, cancel them all.
check your breath for cold and hold on.
please hold on.
no pictures left to burn good-bye to.
the smell of ash and white walls blank.
phase passes us.
horizontal lines and button up.
the drawers of paper all say one thing.
like music boxes custom made.
time passes us.
don't move.
be still.
be silent.

Falling off the cycle and it
really ticks me off when
you calculate this time
and place. Looking over shoulders
cant always be like what it seems
when you were left to my old man,
I am wine, you led me here, tear
these clothes down when we fight.
back around these towers like something
you dont want to see like yesterday
when you were found adding up
misfortunes can always seem like
holidays when you were led to be
the one I am wine you bread me here
tear these clothes down when we fight
its over they found me they beat me i
cant belive they knew it we blew it our
fortunes theyve been retrieved by humans
who knew me they used me to get whats
mine theyll never replace me ill be back i
want revenge its over they found me they
beat me i cant belive they knew it we blew
it our fortunes theyve been retrieved by
humans who knew me they used me to
get whats mine theyll never replace me
ill be back I want revenge

Don't leave without intentions
Don't leave without intentions
Minds made up my own decision
Don't leave without intentions of ever coming back.

Vacation, you take them if you wanted you'd ask them.
Vacation, you take them if you wanted you'd ask them.
Vacation, you take them if you wanted you'd ask them.

Alone, i'm outside.
Red sky, i wait there.
Snowfall above me,
So new, yet fading.

Run around or jump the fence.
Graveyard.
Run around or jump the fence.

Sweep the dirty stairs
The ones I waited on
This is just for me
I felt it watching her

It happens too fast
To make sense of it
Make it last

Where do you intend
To go with a dirty dress?

Lead my skeptic sight
To the table and the light

Not asking of me anything
Saying nothing about what it means
Without anybody telling me
How I should feel

What I should do

This time it's on my own
Minutes from somewhere else
Somewhere I made a wish
With lucky Denver mints

You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?

Hurry, go on ahead
Good things won't let you wait
I'll catch up when we get home
At home I'll leave

A dollar under water
Keeps on dreaming for me

We're lowering the standard in a process selective
The formula's too thin
But it takes more than one person, so everyone jump on
I'll miss you when you're just like them

Imitate and water down, selection breathes on its own
Before the crash I'll write it out: selection breathes on its own
Make them open the request line and let selection kill the old
Take back the radio

I remember back then thinking:
Easy comes but doesn't stay, what comes easy never stays
But the politics need means and business never leaves
You better sing now while you can

Don't bother going through your motions
Nothing that makes sense ever works out
Don't kid yourself, you know they want money
Nothing can be good on its own, its own merit

Spinning and spinning
Do you believe in what you want?
Dancing, in plastic shake-up snow
Do you believe in what you want?

Put your trust in simple acts
Make the flyers get them up all over town
Don't kid yourself, you know it's for money
Please keep in sight what makes you care, you have it always

Your camera flash
On us, meaningless

You cannot waste a single night
What you ignore is priceless to me

On a Sunday I'll think it through.
On the drive back I'll think it through.
What you wish for won't come true.
Live with that, with that.

And on a Sunday she thought it through.
Now as I drive back, there's thiry-six less hours I have to change the course I send myself.
I've gotta live with that, with that.

The haze clears from your eyes,
on a Sunday.
The haze clears from your eyes,
on a Sunday, on a Sunday.

On a Sunday go once around.
Because when the rides done, the hopes that you have carried, they fall out from your hands back to the ground.
Live with that, with that.
They fall out from your hands back to the ground.
Baby, live with that, with that.

The haze clears from your eyes,
on a Sunday.
The haze clears from your eyes,
on a Sunday, on a Sunday.

Learn as the drugs leave.
Learn as you lose it.
You will.

Learn as the drugs leave.
Learn as you lose it.
You will.

And the haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday.
The haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday, on a Sunday.
Yeah, the haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday, on a Sunday.
Yeah, the haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday, on a Sunday, on a Sunday.

Faintest snow keep falling, falling
Hands around your waist
Nameless, standing cold, standing cold

Like a breath, like a breath
Take in restraint like a breath
My lungs are so numb from holding back

Walk close to the fence
Feel it hit your clothes
Turn and smile nice
Smile, say good night, say good night

In a breath, in a breath
Simple discourse breaks you clean...
Simple discourse breaks you clean in half

Regret to try it once
But then you know it's your move
Settle for less again
Again

Didn't mean to leave you hanging on
I didn't mean to leave you all alone
I didn't know what to say

Merry Christmas, baby

We left behind the busy crowd
So it seems we slow down
Meet me with a way out through the lies
Nowhere, going nowhere in the fake yellow light

Blame no one, blame no one

The feelings change so fast
Safety scares them away
I can't bring myself to say it, it's my own advice I need
Nowhere and then nowhere, living trapped inside the chase

Blame no one, blame no one (so blame no one, would you look in my eyes and)
Blame no one, blame no one

Our weakness is the same
We need poison sometimes

So take another drink with me

Blame no one, blame no one (so blame no one, could you look in my eyes and)
Blame no one, blame no one

Here
You can be anything
Anything that scares you
I think that scares you

Here
I've been here before
But only by myself
Myself

I promised I'd see it again
I promised I'd see this with you now

What giving up gives you
And where giving up takes you
I've had and I've been

Here, in center frame
Here, there's only air
And just enough space to fit

I said, said, said it out loud
Over and over
I said, said, said it out loud
But what do I know?
I said, said, said it out loud
Over and over

I said, said, said it out loud
Over and over
I said, said, said it out loud
But it does not help
I'll stop now, just so I can hear you
I stay up as late as it takes

The first star I see may not be a star
We can't do a thing but wait
So let's wait for one more

And the time's such clumsy time
In deciding if it's time
I'm careful but not sure how it goes
You can lose yourself in your courage

When the time we have now ends
When the big hand goes round again
Can you still feel the butterflies?
Can you still hear the last goodnight?

And the mindless comfort grows
When I'm alone with my big plans
And this is what she said gets her through it
If I don't let myself be happy now then when?

If not now when?

When the time we have now ends
When the big hand goes round again
Can you still feel the butterflies?
Can you still hear the last goodnight?

I close my eyes and believe
Wherever you are, angel

Take advantage of these times, you said
You let me down
It hasn't been the first time

As I'm falling in the pit of fire
My mind's made up
I'm never coming back here

And how long would it take me
To walk across the United States, all alone?
The west coast has been traumatized
And I think I'm the only one still alive

Is it just a coincidence
To see you by yourself with no direction?
Now it's time to move on
And don't you know that things aren't getting better?

When the world caves in
What'cha gonna do?
When the world caves in
What'cha gonna do for me?

Don't try and stop me
Because I'm falling fast
Into this pit of fire which surrounds us all
In a blanket of fear that I've been wrapped in for years

Don't try to stop me
You can't stop me

I'll take your words
As if you were talking to me
So say what I know you'll say
Say it through your teeth

Now
In the deep and down
Your heart moves

Now
In the deep and down
I don't know how but I know I want out

Wait for something better
Will I know when it can be us?
Wait for something better
Maybe that doesn't mean us
Wait for something better
I shouldn't, it's not enough

Pull one excuse from another

And with pride
keep every failure in
And with pride
Hold on to your sinking

Pull one excuse from another
This time it means stop

Pull one excuse from another
This time it means us

"Is tomorrow just a day like all the rest?"
Like all the rest
So full of faith yet full of doubt
I ask

Again
I shall ask you this once again
He said "I am but one small instrument"
Do you remember that?

Time and time again you said "don't be afraid"
The only voice I want to hear is yours

So here I am above palm trees
So straight and tall
You are smaller, gettin' smaller
But I still see you
