Lights And Sounds"
Hello, you, how was the rest? You made it through, but nevertheless I got you out on a wire. You be love and I’ll be a liar.
Tell it all and fill up the air, But make it loud cause nobody’s there And nobody’s there And nobody’s there
[Chorus:] Stop, turn, take a look around At all the lights and sounds. Let them bring you in. Slow burn, let it all fade out, Pull the curtain down. I wonder where you’ve been?
Make it new, but stay in the lines. Just let go, but keep it inside. Smile big for everyone, Even when you know what they’ve done. They gave you the end but not where to start; Not how to build, how to tear it apart.
So tell it all and fill up the air, But make it loud 'cause nobody’s there And nobody’s there And nobody’s there
[Chorus]
I've got a way to work this out, I've got a way and you know how.
I've got a way to work this out, I've got a way and you know how.
I've got a way to work this out, I've got a way
I've got a way to work this out, I've got a way and you know how.
I've got a way to work this out, I've got a way
I've got a way to work this out, I've got a way and you know how.
I've got a way to work this out, I've got a way
Stop, turn, take a look around At all the lights and sounds. Let them bring you in. Slow burn, let it all fade out, Pull the curtain down. I wonder where you've been?
[Chorus]
You earned everything you found, And painted faces frown. I'll say I knew you when...
Down On My Head"
I work all night For one more day that I can say I'm all alone, alone I just need time And I will say what I believe and I'll come home, home And all I know
[Chorus]
I never thought I would wake up in bed Watching the world coming down on my head I'd sleep like a dog if you would never had said This is the world coming down on your head
As life flies by I'm not sure how I'm gonna do this all again, again So line by line I write this down and I'm just trying to find the end, the end And all I know
[Chorus]
You gave it to me I remember it read You got the world coming down on your head There's nothing to fight for, it's already dead And this is the world coming down on my head
[Chorus]
I'm not gonna swallow the lie that I'm fed Cos I want the world coming down on my head You're gonna find out you're already dead And I was the world coming down on your head
Sure Thing Falling"
He likes vampires and hit list radio But turns it off when he hears this one song he knows And you breathe the windows down You're driving I-4 as you make your way back home [I-4 - Florida Interstate] You ride in silence because he will not let go And you breathe the windows down It's a new place that you have found
[Chorus:] I've been up late writing books All about heroes and crooks One of them saves you from this The other one steals you and then, sure, things, fall And all sure things fall.
Do you remember how we used to get so high It didn't work at first we tried it two more times And we could breathe the windows down I was thinking of the temperature outside Cool like the water that was running from our eyes And we could breathe the windows down It's a new place that we had found
[Chorus]
He can take you all the way to church this time But don't forget you summed it up in 15 lines
I've been up late writing books All about heroes and crooks One of them saves you from this The other one steals you Of all of the places I looked And all of the pictures I took One of them's here with me now I'm finally finding out how, sure, things, fall And all sure things fall.
City Of Devils"
Man once sang to me Look at you saving the world on your own And I wonder how things gonna be 'Cause the time here it passes so slow In a city of devils we live A city of devils we live Find somebody to learn Boy you gotta love someone more than yourself I can feel the fire of the city lights burn It's hard to find angels in hell
[Chorus]
Flying along, and I Feel like I don't belong and I, Can't tell right from the wrong, why, Have I been here so long
In a city of devils we live A city of devils we live
Questions I can't seem to find To the answers I already have And you can't see the sky here at night So I guess I can't make my way back
[Chorus]
What if I wanted you here right now Would you fall in the fire burn me down If I wanted you here right now Would you fall in the fire burn me down If I wanted you here right now...
In a city of devils we live In a city of devils we live A city of devils we live In a city of...
[Chorus]
I don't belong Don't belong I've been here too long Too long
Rough Landing, Holly"
Left the ground In black and white And when the plane went down The colors all around I know by now The Margin's slight And still I can't get out, she's all I think about, can't let her go It's who you know
[Chorus]
We came down to watch the world walk by And all she found was trouble in my eyes From the sky she pulled me down tonight Let her go Let her go
She moves fast, Takes control and like a heart attack I know I can't turn back And time just passed Nights moved slow And she was all I had, I thought I'd never last, can't let her go It's who you know
[Chorus X2]
She calls out the farther that I fly I love that sound so give me one more line And from the sky she pulled me down tonight Let her go Let her go Let her go Let her go
Two Weeks From Twenty"
Jimmy wasn't really popular He had a couple of friends back home And sooner or later they're all getting out so he had to join up alone He was dreaming of the Ivy League since he was only three feet tall And get the hell out of jersey and then he would never look back at all
And then your hear 'em say That miles away We lost another one that we sent with a gun They're gonna miss him he was two weeks from twenty and there's still no shame From the man to blame
Jimmy never had a reason to stay Cos all the factories shut down All he had was a line for his name So he could sign away his right to be proud He tried to kiss her on the way out the door, She just put her little hand on his face I don't understand why you're leaving, she said But I hope your gonna ask me to wait
And then your hear 'em say That miles away We lost another one that we sent with a gun His lady missed him, he was two weeks from twenty and there's still no shame From the man to blame
Jimmy's mother went to Capitol Hill So she could fill her heart up with joy Maybe shake a few hands while she's there and tell them thank you sir for taking my boy.
And then your hear 'em say That miles away We lost another one that we sent with a gun His mama missed him he was two weeks from twenty and there's still no shame From the man to blame No there's still no shame And we're all to blame We're all to blame We're all to blame We're all to blame We're all to blame
Waiting Game"
You and me A little different Though we tried to stay the same It never leaves And when it changes it is still a waiting game
I wait for a lonely breath I wait to surface from this death Wait for the light to come And take away these images I get In my head
[Chorus:] More than ever I need to feel you More than ever I see the real you
You are me A worst disaster would be waking up alone Now we're free We're drifting out Like all the ones we didn't know I wait for a silent tear I wait for things to disappear Wait for the ground to stop moving underneath my only fear If I lose you I don't know
[Chorus #2:] More than ever I need to feel you It's all around More than ever I see the real you And it surrounds
Everything, everything We've had Out of sight out of mind Given that What I see when I dream Hurts like hell and back [x2]
[Chorus #2 (x2)]
Martin Sheen Or JFK"
Here it is One more glass for these broken hands Goes down for you I've fallen in I sink then swallow I never meant To see this through
[Chorus]
I'm taking them all I'm taking them all back for good To a place where I know that I'm safe Then I can fall Then I could fall where I should In this bottle with all my mistakes
All the days Since I've landed I've lost the way To find my truth You float away And leave me stranded What's left to say I'll hurt for you
[Chorus]
I could sleep But when I wake here You'd still be gone And you're my air I could breathe If you would stay here For another song So I could stare
I could sleep But when I wake here You'd still be gone And you're my air I could breathe If you would stay here For another song So I could stare
[Chorus X2]
Space Travel"
I heard a voice last night It said wake up and open your eyes Wake up walk out tonight Cause she don't care if you're dead or alive, dead or alive She moves like beams of light Straight through this universe in my head Where I get peace of mind I'm free from the stupid things that I said She's all in my head
[Chorus]
Did I get lost while I was gone I traveled space for much too long But there's a planet I have found And you are far away from now
Somewhere behind her eyes Some super natural energy Takes me for quite the ride Across time Where I defy gravity As soon as a dream
[Chorus]
Did I get lost while I was gone I traveled space for much too long Did I get lost while I was gone I traveled space for much too long But there's a planet I have found And you are far away Far away You are far away Far away from now.
Grey"
Grey skies clouding up the things we used to see with wide eyes Maybe everything was meant to be this way Will it ever change But are we stuck here on our own
[Chorus]
It's all gone grey It's all gone grey
I found telling you the truth the hardest thing to get out I know it wasn't you that made me feel this way Will it ever change Or are we stuck here on our own.
And give it one more try I don't know if I would stay I feel so much better now And baby begging me Will leave you so empty inside So you shouldn't even try
I know every last regret inside of me is my own The way I hold them close has made me be this way I will never change I know I'm stuck here on my own, on my own
Given one more try I don't know if I would stay I feel so much better now Where did we go wrong I know you still hold on to me But it's time that you let go I gave you things I had That I could not get back again But I'm better off alone
[Chorus] It's all gone grey It's all gone grey It's all gone grey It's all gone grey
Words, Hands, Hearts"
The whole world was sleeping And I was there You could just sense this feeling in the air Like no one's words were good enough to define what we feared And no one's words were strong enough to fix what happened here
[Chorus]
Lead on to save me Lead us all there Find me some answers One nation beware Can't tell the difference between myth and man Or what's necessary or where I should stand
The whole world is different now men have died They can just sense this feeling in our eyes Like no one's hands are big enough to hold onto this fear And no one's hands are strong enough to fix what happened here
[Chorus]
So do we do now Raise our voices loud Were searching for something that cannot be found Here open mouths I see open hands Blinded and silent I can't understand
The whole word is watching with one blank stare I can just sense this feeling of ill-repair Like no one's heart is full enough to keep away this fear And no one's heart is strong enough to fix what happened here
Lead on to save me Lead us all there Find me some answers It's time that you shared Can't tell the difference between myth and man Or what's necessary or where I should stand
So do we tell now Raise our voices loud We're searching for something that cannot be found I hear open mouths And I see open hands Like the blinded and silent I can't understand.
How I Go"
I could tell you the wildest of tales My friend the giant and traveling sales Tell you all the times that I failed The years all behind me The stories exhaled. And I'm drying out Crying out This isn't how I go
I could tell you of a man not so tall Who said life's a circus and so we are small Tell you of a girl that I saw I froze in the moment and she changed it all
And I'm drying out Crying out This isn't how I go Hurry now Lay me down And let these waters flow Flow...
Son I am not everything you thought that I would be But every story I have told is part of me
And you keep the air in my lungs Floating along as a melody comes And my heart beats like timpani drums Keeping the time while a symphony strums And I'm drying out Crying out This isn't how I go Hurry now Lay me down And let these waters flow... Flow.... Let it flow Let it flow
Son I am not everything you thought that I would be But every story I have told is part of me Son I leave you now but you have so much more to do And every story I have told is part of you
Holly Wood Died"
Accidents out on the highway to somewhere They tell us about when we were young Rescuers working to clean up the crashes Before she can see what they've done Nobody told her she'd lose in the first round The last fight was fixed from the start Name's on her side walks They move through her body Like razors they cut through her heart Like razors they cut through her heart
[Chorus]
Hey let go Of all you know And get fired away now What have you got to lose And say out loud These words I found I'll be back when you come down I'll be waiting for you
The night life The high life She just wants a good life So someone remembers her too But somewhere she heard there was some place to go when You die when you live like we do Die when you live like we do
[Chorus repeat] [First verse background]
Three Flights Down"
Lately I've found You're bringing me down And I can't stand to see me this way I'll stick around but I wont make a sound You already know what I'd say
I'd say you want to hit me where it hurts the most To get me lyin' down And I'm on to you Nothing ever works out like it should
Quiet on the front The sky dropped the sun It fell down on our faces again I tried to run You could see what I'd done Now it's wearing off, wearing thin
Now where, out there You be full of you enough to think I'm waiting up And I'm onto you And nothing ever works out like it should
Light in her eyes Light in her eyes Light in her eyes Light in her eyes Light in her eyes
I'm changing trains the station remains Footsteps in the stairwell echo I lost track of days I found thousands of ways But how to quit you, nobody knows
So leave me, you're free It's three flights down to happiness Make sure you close the door And I'm onto you Nothing ever works out like it should
Light in her eyes Light in her eyes Light in her eyes Light in her eyes Light in her eyes Light in her eyes
