No Road
04:10
|
|||
|
No road will ever find you
If you’re asking for it to
Just another drive to look and wish away
If you’re looking for the answer
Hold on a little longer
Eventually you’ll live to see the day
I know you find me too wide eyed
No road can offer freedom
It’s around and we still need some
Just another plan to hope and run away
If you’re searching for the answer
Don’t hold back all your anger
Eventually you’ll live to see my way
I know you find me too wide eyed

Walking Faster
02:26
|
|||
|
Breathing deeper, walking faster
Every time after I feel the laughter
Creeping up my spine
Everything is fine
'Til I fall back to
Taking longer, sighing harder
I start to wonder what am I under
Breaking all my truths
I follow the abuse
'Til I go back to
Feeling better, acting clever
I thought I'd never come back together
It never stays around
And I won't keep you down
'Til I fall back to...

Special Kind
03:01
|
|||
|
Let me speak your beauty
You’re such a special kind
I love to see you smile
I wish I could rewind
Instead I’ll try again
To bring your joy to ten
I will lend my hand
To keep you, my best friend
I follow in your footsteps
But I’m so far behind
I feel if I’m leading
You’d still come out to shine
I know it’s not a battle
I swear it’s not a race
But I’m just so ecstatic
To be in second place

Over Explaining
02:49
|
|||
|
Gave this life to something else
Took a job to keep some wealth
Paid my way for quite some time
It seems all I want to find
Are the things that turn me away
To the words that you’ve been saying
Could be a help to realize the weight
You're putting on me
I'm not saying it ain't right
Cause I never said that
I'm just saying don't be blind
To things that I've been saying
I get so tired of over explaining
Take a seat and settle in
I don’t know where to begin
Break away from all the strides
You make to keep me feeling
Like I just keep letting go
You just think I'd want to know
Guard your pain and all your pride
It's all coming down tonight
I'm not saying that it’s right
Cause I never said that
I'm just saying don't be blind
To things that I've been saying
I get so tired of over explaining

Saved You Once
02:29
|
|||
|
Can you see the rain ahead
Drowning out your willingness
You can find me above the clouds
I saved you once, now save yourself
Can't you see there's nothing left
Heading to my bed to rest
Can you finally just see the light
I've been trying to do what's right
You can find me around your dreams
But the nightmare is all I see

Trying To Get Back To Me
02:10
|
|||
|
I spend all this time
Trying to get back to me
You say I’m in my prime
I’m leaning to the contrary
Half days of pure divine
Just trying to live happily
If the stars align
I’ll feel this all naturally
I spent all this time
Trying to get back to me
You say I’m in my prime
I’m leaning to the contrary
One day when I die
None of this will matter to me
I don’t know where I’ll fly
I’m thinking too hard about it

Day's So Dull
03:11
|
|||
|
I can hear you cry like the rain outside
I can feel your sigh like the wind
I cannot deny, I've been in denial
I cannot forget my lies
But it feels so right
Are you coming home tonight
Cause my days so dull without you
I know you like to pry, but now you're acting shy
Give me everything about you or
Diminish all you speak, a whisper through the peaks
I'm picking up the pages that I didn't read
And it feels so right
Will you just come home tonight
Cause my days so dull
Spread out on the floor
It just feels so cold without you
I can hear you cry like the rain outside

War Lines
03:27
|
|||
|
Is it so wrong
To be with the one
That you need
And the one that you love
Let them be free
Keep your scrutiny
Secure and untouched
From the one that you love
With all your fortunes
Come other warnings
Held back through hard times
Be there to guide them
Form an alliance
It’s so much harder to find
But you’ll get through war lines
Is it so wrong
To be with the one
That you need
And the one that you love
Find ways to guide them
Through all of their pain
Instead of negating
Like someone that you’d hate
With all your fortunes
Come other warnings
Held back through hard times
Be there to guide them
Form an alliance
It’s so much harder to find
But you’ll get through war lines

Stronger Than One
03:13
|
|||
|
One side of the bed is empty now
One sight in my head you’re not around
I wake up in the night
To find there’s still a light
Beaming in my eyes
In a few I’ll wanna see you
And realize no one can change my mind
Two hands to the sun it shines too bright
Two’s stronger than one so I’ll drop the pride
I’m finding every day
There’s still a way for me to
Get through everything
In a few I’m gonna see you
We’re taking flight no one will change our minds

Every Shuffle
05:17
|
|||
|
Do you ever go there
To the place that you can't see
You take hold of the fear while silence surrounds your being
Have you ever stayed there
To feel the cold thoughts creep
You see the empty space around
And cry for your existence
Every shuffle on the ground
Hear the sighs come around
Every time that you judge
Hear the heart that you touch
Every shuffle on the ground
Hear the sighs come around
Every time that you judge
Hear the whispers of the heart you've done wrong
Do you ever hope that
There is someone there
That keeps us waking up while feeling lonely and despaired
Could you ever know that
There is just today
Just this life and nothing else that's keeping you awake, what's keeping you awake
