i miss you to death
03:28

tell me baby
how you've been doing
do you wake up feeling blue?
tell me darling
what you've been thinking
are you closer to your truth?
i miss you to death
tell me honey
that you're growing stronger
i'm growing too
tell me sweetheart
you've got something for me
that i was worth it to you
i miss you to death
we did the best for what we knew
was it the most that we could do?
my friends say it's just a matter of time
before you fade away
i still want you to be mine
but you left me behind

get through
03:30
|

no one ever told me when to quit
to put my hands up and let go before i make myself sick
i guess it's just how i've always been
i've got a heart on my sleeve and a history of broken things to fix
but i can't listen to us anymore
i don't want to be stuck where we were before
i tried to get through to you
i was raised with a love that never came easy
working hard is all i've ever known
my mother taught me that the things you fear most
are the things you must keep close to grow
but i can't listen to us anymore
i don't want to be stuck where we were before
i tried to get through to you
we must find ourselves in each other
to love

firebell
01:38
|

my mind a fortress and i'm its servant
paying my dues until absolution
i wear simple on the surface
i wear blood on my neat little apron
i'm still searching for a purpose
for a reason to primally scream it out
i'm still praying to the intellect
to the wolf inside my sweetest nightmare
life is waiting on the firebell
to put into motion the drill we were taught so well
never mind the fire if it's fake or real
the notion of it all keeps us standing still
i'm no damsel, just a silhouette
some things get me on and some things get me wet
i'm just living for connectedness
brothers and sisters we're all just silhouettes
i had my oxygen, i had my safety gear
forgot to double check the expiration year
i'm a gambler, runs in my family
i played with fire didn't care if it burned me
life is waiting on the firebell
to put into motion the drill we were taught so well
never mind the fire if it's fake or real
the notion of it all keeps us standing still

burning in the sun
02:50
|

you can change your mind a thousand times
but you cannot change your heart
you can't change what you've said or what you've done
it's always going to be there
it's never going to be fair
it's always going to be there
burning in the sun
you can write yourself a thousand alibis
but they'll never dry the tears from her eyes
you can add a thousand miles to your feet
but she's always going to be there
it's never going to be fair
she's always going to be there
burning in the sun
she wasn't even worth a conversation
yet you told her that you cared
where's the weight behind your words?
there is none
because they're lighter than air
do you hear her now?
can you see her?
was her love ever worth saving
as much as your own love?
was her heart just yours for breaking
was it not enough?
can you love her now?
can you know her?
do you care enough to not erase her?
care enough to not replace her?

trouble
03:57
|
|||
i took you under my wing
to try to get you to sing
we don't talk anymore
don't you know i've had to ignore
the truth that you've been hiding
i hide the tears i've been crying
i don't want you to worry
about me anymore
i will go my own way if it keeps a smile on your face
i will get out of your way despite the blood i'll have to pay
i will make it easy for you, i won't make a scene
if it keeps you happy, if it keeps your conscience clean
to love means to let go
i've been there, done it, i know
you know you aren't the first one
who has reaped from what i've sown
but don't you worry darling
i'm stronger than you know
i only have one question:
why all that trouble just to lie to me?
you didn't have to lie
i thought you'd be different from the others
i thought i'd be different from the others
i will go my own way if it keeps a smile on your face
i will get out of your way despite the blood i'll have to pay
i will make it easy for you, i won't make a scene
if it keeps you happy, if it keeps your conscience clean

bones

turning the volume down
silence the noise
what's all this fret about
when boys will be boys?
can't stand that point of view
boxes and lines
thought we could prove it wrong
with a love beyond its time
found me the steepest hill
i dreamt about its peak
found me a bone to pick
when i thought our bones were clean
i can hear you so loudly
i feel you in my skin
can't you hear my heart shouting
it wants to be let in
i know it scared you baby
why couldn't you just see
how all the lines between us
brought all that fear into our dream?
was it ever our dream
or was it just mine
next to yours?
you said a lot of things
boys often say
why i believed in them
is my own debt to pay
our lips speak different colors
our bones the same
what's all this bleeding for
if our bones couldn't break?

ego, ego
02:54
|

ego, ego telling you that it knows
how to keep that heart in control
feed it, feeds you, runs you in a circle
digs your heart into a hole
until it explodes
and ego no longer knows
nobody wants a nice guy
who can't account for when he's mean
nobody wants a sad guy
who can't see past his own damned needs
i'm not falling for it this time
if you want her for your ego
you'd better forget about her
if you want her with your heart
then make amends
if you saw her as a damsel
than you never really knew her
if you really wanna know her
if you really care about her
(really, really, really, really care)
LET GO
of your ego
it's broken
but heart knows
heart takes ego broken
to speak what's unspoken
don't use her
you'll lose her
lose her to your pride
she's human
you're human
her heart's been on your side
two hearts, but not two egos
can always get along
two hearts, but not two egos
can write a love song

darkness strikes our light is breaking down
gather up the people there's no time to sit around
when there's injustice in the air, a fifth wall to tear
history allows retrospect
the devil's been named c'mon and introspect
were you there the last time?
are you here for the first time?
if you hear me say it out loud
tell me you know how your projection bullied me out
if you see me what's in your eye?
am i a vessel for the specter keeping you blind?
little key is bleeding there ain't nowhere to hide
i found your secret door and i saw what's inside
and it brought me to the light, it taught me what to fight
history allows questioning
what devil in you needs a reckoning?
were you there the last time?
are you here for the first time?
if you hear me say it out loud
tell me you know how your projection bullied me out
if you see me what's in your eye?
am i a vessel for the specter keeping you blind?
uh oh

it's been a little while babe
and i've been feeling better
but there's something in the weather
makes me wonder, wonder, wonder
time it moves so slowly
and i know i'm feeling stronger
but there's something, something
i can't name
i'm still afraid
to say it out loud
that i want to make you proud
to be your friend
to see you again
further i get further
and my vision becomes clearer
but there's something in the ether
keeps my fire burning brighter
i can't see the future
i can't cut away the sutures
when there's something, something
i can't name
i'm still afraid
to say it out loud
that i want to make you proud
to be your friend
to see you again
further
i get further

forgiveness
03:16
|

if it's meant to be it'll be
if it's meant to die it'll die
oh sweet surrender
lead me back to home
fill my soul with peace and love
forgiveness is your song
if it's meant to grow it'll grow
if it's meant to live it'll live
oh sweet surrender
lead me back to home
fill my soul with peace and love
forgiveness is your song

reverie
04:24
|
|||
i still get sad
that you're not here
i tried the best i could
to work things out my dear
when it snows
i remember you most
i remember the start
of our hopeful year
i still sing
all of our songs
i always thought your arms
were were i truly belonged
there's no poetry
just these honest words
to tell you i loved you
but it hurt
i still pray
that you'll come back to me
and we'll make amends
and free ourselves
from history
and we'll end this old famine
and we'll sing a new cannon
and we'll meet in the middle
to renew our sacred reverie
