Dark Memory
02:47
|
|||
|
In the dark in the sun I don’t need anyone, to make my life worth living
I will stand on my own and I won’t feel alone there’s a whole world outside waiting
What I cannot ignore while my heart is so sore, it will grow back beating
To the moon, to the stars, walking late, passing cars, life just keeps on pulsing
Oh, but what do I do when I stand close to you our connection is fading
Two as one nevermore I can’t fake any more of this life my soul needs healing
But the day that I swore I will walk out that door, was the day you were leaving
What to say I’m not sure, you might have heard it before, “All your love is worth keeping.”
In the dark in the sun I don’t need anyone to make my life worth keeping
I will stand on my own and I won’t feel alone, there’s a whole world outside waiting
Its just me, only me and a dark memory.

New Direction
03:14
|
|||
|
So I will seek a new direction, one where you are not my home.
You can’ t have love without affection, these empty streets now I must roam.
When I cry these tears aren’t falling for you.
My love and my dreams ending like water sending, hope away.
So I won’t look in your direction, when I’m feeling all alone.
Thoughts and emotions are unending, I turn my heart into a stone.
When I lie these words aren’t spoken for you, my love.
Walls arising, our distance thriving, our pain dividing.
A girl who thinks she is a woman, is nothing short of a wrecking ball.
When she knocks you down--if you like it, you won’t be nothing at all.
When you say that you’re worried I know you’re playing with my heart.
Now my brain’s in a flurry, and I don’t know where to start.

Turn Signal

These are just the things we say when we’ve given up.
Those are just the words we use.
Every verb will have its way when we’ve had enough.
Nobody can choose their own meaning.
I feel, I feel so much that I’m careless when I form a phrase.
I feel, I feel the rush, now I’m helpless. I’m in a daze.
These are just the things we say when we’ve given up.
Those are just the words we use.
Every verb will have its way when we’ve had enough.
Nobody can choose their own meaning.
When I trip into the ground and I don’t know what I’m finding
When I sink into the earth I’m falling down into my memories
Looking to find what I might see gazing at all of the beauty that’s surrounding you and me
It will call us back now, and again, and again, and again, and again
To remind us what we’re living for we’re breathing for we’re dying for
What is this purpose we strain our consciousness for?
Just open up your mind search deep and you will find the tie that binds you and I together
These are just the things we say when we’ve given up.
Those are just the words we use.
Every verb will have its way when we’ve had enough.
Nobody can choose their own meaning.
The more of you I see the less I know that I exist
As I walk amongst my dreams, would you tread upon my bliss
The one thing that I ask of you is this and only this
Please don’t call me back to existence until the morning
These are just the things we say when we’ve given up.
Those are just the words we use.
Every verb will have its way when we’ve had enough.
Nobody can choose their own meaning.

Get It
03:29
|
|||
|
If everything I’d ever thought in this life could just be taught
I’d sell myself just to get bought so you can get it.
But if happiness is just a place of mind I’ll spend till bust
My only guide will be my lust I’m gonna get it, I’m gonna let it grow
“Letting go’s the only way, go with the flow,” that’s what they say,
But if today’s just not my day, I’ll never get it.
Cause for every day I still try, this world just keeps on passing by,
And if I sit and wonder why, I’ll never get it. I gotta let it go.
Bad luck may come again, spit you out like a bitter friend
But spewing venom’s just gonna end your chance to get it
Cause out of all I’ve said done and been, most would never work out again
I hope to see you through till the end, I hope you get it, and never let it go.

Take It Slow
03:31
|
|||
|
I don’t want you to say that you feel this way
I just want you to know I want to take it slow
I’m not even close to dying, just merely curled up crouched down and crying, trying to find what I cannot see.
This glance you give me it is a statement of your intent don’t try to fake it you wish your ecstasy envelope me
Please remind me life’s what we are living, about taking and giving, try it out and you will see
I don’t want you to say, that you feel this way
I just want you to know I want to take it slow
This freedom we find in each other will last tonight don’t even bother to dream what might this spring bring for me
Tomorrow will bring the changes of fresh reality unhinge us from the tunnel vison now that we see
I don’t want you to say, that you feel this way
I just want you to know I want to take it slow
But don’t stop enlightening my senses, cause I’m a glutton and you’re a princess show me your castle I will climb your tree
But be careful how we treat each other cause in our dungeons lies a monster that if unbound will ruin what we can be
I just want you to say what you’re gonna say.

Searching
04:11
|
|||
|
Close your eyes and what you see: is just a shadow
Just a shadow of what will be
When light is scarce and you
Cannot find direction
We’ve been searching, with no arriving
If this is living, why are we dying?
Every hour of lonely night, we’ll count them slowly fight by fight
No giving up no turning back, no answers
For just one moment let me breath I need the air just to see
That spinning rapidly is our condition
We’ve been searching, with no arriving
If this is living, why are we dying?
Metallic gears guide those cold hands rotating quite just like I am
Displaying time as all that can be a measure
When life is here and gone again, if only now then what can end
Mean to me I cannot place this existence.
We’ve been searching, with no arriving
If this is living, why are we dying?

Thunderfunk
05:28
|
|||
|
I know you’re lying to me ‘bout what you did last night
Just an attempt for control, but I’m not looking to fight
been moving back and forth lately can’t tell which side I’m on
Be understood our have freedom can’t have both when your young.
When you take my number say I’m not the only one
Who can feel the thunder while we’re blocking out the sun.
Opposing axioms only fuel the fire
Of my needs and my wants, they’re fighting higher and higher
Till at last they have tumbled back down to the ground and
I stand where I’m standing cause I’ve done what I’ve done
When you take my number say I’m not the only one
Who can feel the thunder while we’re blocking out the sun.
Don’t turn it on me you already know the game
You’ll just be looking for answers that don’t have a name
I don’t know what I want, but I want it so bad
Those blue eyes that red hear they’re driving me mad
When you take my number say I’m not the only one
Who can feel the thunder while we’re blocking out the sun.
When you take my number say that I’m the only one
Who can feel the thunder while we’re blocking out the sun.
This life’s what you do, think and feel inside
So step out of the darkness I don’t want you to hide
Your gaze from my eyes its your lips I must know
Will they speak from your gut your head your heart or your soul?
I wanna know
When you take my number say I’m not the only one
Who can feel the thunder while we’re blocking out the sun.
When you take my number say that I’m the only one
Who can feel the thunder while we’re blocking out the sun.

Help Your Self
03:28
|
|||
|
You best step carefully when you walk the line because the world outside is tripping
Now that the fog has cleared your vision’s cleared to the mountains you’ve been slipping
Please don’t tell me how to help myself you can’t help me unless you help yourself
You better look ahead or fall instead and just repeat the trouble
If you build yourself on someone else your just inviting rubble
Please don’t tell me how to help myself you can’t help me unless you help yourself
The way you walk and sway don’t come my way, a mess with no abandon
Will find a way to laugh as they take out what I’m not handing
Please don’t tell me how to help myself you can’t help me unless you help yourself

Towards Me
05:04
|

|
I remember the pain, it all feels the same.
And of all I wrote is there one thing that could change it all?
I’m hearing a sound ringing in my ear I’m walking a line but it’s not quite clear
If trust in time will pull you nearer towards me.
I’m feeling ‘bout things I’ve never known, I’m dreaming of worlds never been shown I’m hoping that love will pull you home towards me.
Breathe deep again, let it out and in.
As we glide along is there one thing you want most of all?
I’m hearing a sound ringing in my ear I’m walking a line but it’s not quite clear
If trust in time will pull you nearer towards me.
I’m feeling ‘bout things I’ve never known, I’m dreaming of worlds never been shown I’m hoping that love will pull you home towards me.
All the lives we’ve been, guide the light we bring
And in the glistening, lies the one thing that connects us all.
I’m hearing a sound ringing in my ear I’m walking a line but it’s not quite clear
If trust in time will pull you nearer towards me.
I’m feeling ‘bout things I’ve never known, I’m dreaming of worlds never been shown I’m hoping that love will pull you home towards me.
I’m hearing a sound ringing in my ear I’m walking a line but it’s not quite clear
If trust in time will pull you nearer towards me.
I’m feeling ‘bout things I’ve never known, I’m dreaming of worlds never been shown I’m hoping that love will pull you home towards me.

To Eternity

|

|
But if the butterflies fade away, how can this world stay the same?
Will we lie awake and dream of when the thrill of it can start again, and never end?
