Alone
03:40
|
|||
I'm in this race & running out of time
To fill the space of what I left behind
A quiet place is all I tried to find
'Cause I can't escape the voices of my mind
A million miles away is where I roam
'Cause every place but here I call my home
The thing I'm searching for I've never known
So here I go again to turn another stone
Alone (x4)
I'm in this race & running out of time
To fill the space of what I left behind
The thing I'm searching for I've never known
So here I go again to turn another stone
Alone (x4)

Heartbreak
02:17
|
|||
How many times can one heart break?
How long and how deep is the fall?
How can I try to get over it now
When I can't help this feeling at all
That's when I have to
Find my way out of the dark
Lift myself up when I'm falling apart
And if there's anything you can do
I will find you
And if there's anything you can say
I will find you
How many times can one heart break?
How long and how deep is the fall?
How can you tell me move on from it now
When I can't do this livin' at all
That's when I have to
Find my way out of the dark
Lift myself up when I'm falling apart
And if there's anything you can do
I will find you
And if there's anything you can say
I will find you
How many times can one heart break?
How long and how deep is the fall?

Freedom
04:08
|

Freedom is only a myth
It's a twist of the truth
Hangin' on by a thread
And it's not that strong
Seeing as I can't exist
For a minute without
The unending procession
Of thoughts of you
Maybe I'll try to get over
The mountain of guilt
And reminders of
Everything I gave up
Suddenly I can't define
All the ways that I told myself
I should get over you
Everyday I see your face
In my mind running circles
And hiding in corners
That I didn't know
Opened up to my love for you
Freedom is only a gift
Wrapped up in a nightmare
Perched on a cliff
Where my life went wrong
Seeing as I can't go on now
With living this lie of a life
It'll kill me I'm not that strong
Everyday I see your face
In my mind running circles
And hiding in corners
That I didn't know
Opened up to my love for you
One more try
I promise this time
I'll put up a fight
Baby next time
I'll treat you right
Oh unchain me from
This Freedom
And I swear
I'll never leave you again

Yesterday
03:19
|
|||
In the beginning
We were winning
It was cool
you kept me grinning
It was fun
Had a friendship
that we thought
was never ending yeah
A strong connection
without a question
I trusted you
You were my best friend
We were young
It wasn't long before
It took a new direction yeah
And then my hunger
Just grew stronger for you
Now I hear the thunder
The road is longer
What to do
Yesterday I was young & dumb but
Thanks to you yesterday is gone
We were like puppies & kittens
Didn't know what we were missin'
And yesterday I was so in love but
Today I'm wonderin' what the hell went wrong
We were like puppies & kittens
Didn't know what we were missin'
The transition
had me wishing
We'd make some rules
With definition
'Cause there were none
Now our friendship had become
A contradiction yeah
We went from bending
To defending
From complimenting
To condescending
Now it's done
We had to say goodbye
To our happy ending yeah
And now I wonder
What took us under
Was it you?
Now I hear the thunder
The road is longer
What to do
Yesterday I was young & dumb but
Thanks to you yesterday is gone
We were like puppies & kittens
Didn't know what we were missing
And yesterday I was so in love but
Today I'm wondering what the hell went wrong
We were like puppies & kittens
Didn't know what we were missing
And now I wonder
What took us under was it you
Now I hear the thunder
The road is longer
What to do?
Yesterday I was young & dumb but
Thanks to you yesterday is gone
We were like puppies & kittens
Didn't know what we were missing
And yesterday I was so in love but
Today I'm wondering what the hell went wrong
We were like puppies & kittens
Didn't know what we were missing

Today
03:47
|
|||
These roses
plucked from the ground
hang upside down
no longer alive
went from red to brown
but I kep'em around
along with the letter you wrote me
but the paper is faded
so I can't read it now
Time gone to waste
from holding on
I was afraid but
Today is the day
I throw them away
Today is the day
I throw them all away
These clothes you
left in the house
turned inside out
shoes in the closet
same stain on the couch
all the pictures I found
along with the necklace you bought me
but it was gold plated
so I can't wear it now
Time gone to waste
from holding on
Signs in my face
I stayed too long
The locks on the cage
Were way too strong
The price has been paid so
Today is the day
I throw them away
Today is the day
I throw them all away (x2)
My pretty little head is clear
It wasn't meant to be
But with these juicy ruby red lips right here
Damn it feels good to be free
Today is the day
I throw them away
Today is the day
I throw them all away
Today is the day
Today is the day
I throw them away
Today is the day
I throw them all away

Get it
Won't let it
Hold me down
Forget it
I'm comin'
I'm comin' (x3)
Hey
Not waistin' any time
It's time I took what's mine
And you
Can't stop me
Step aside
I'm comin'
I'm Comin'
Ayayaya
You knocked me down
But you won't get the best of me
Look at me now
I'm on top I'm your fantasy
Can't cool me down
I am on fire
Watch as I burn
I'm gettin' higher
I'm Comin'
I'm Comin'
I'm Comin'
Ayayaya
You knocked me down
but you won't get the best of me
Look at me now
I'm on top I'm your fantasy
Can't cool me down
I am on fire
Watch as I burn
I'm gettin' higher
I'm Comin'
I'm Comin'
I'm Comin'

Truman Show
02:48
|

They are watching now
Want to keep us down
Cheat us throw us out
Kill us burn us down
But we won't back out
No we won't back down
We are comin' now
We are comin' now
I've been living the Truman Show
Yeah here for quite some time
I feel like there is something
That they are trying to hide
But I'm not fooled and I can't even
Hide the fact that I
Want to break through and find out
What's on the other side
Takin' your selfies
Watchin' your videos
You don't even see them
Lookin' at you through the phone
They are watching now
Want to keep us down
Cheat us throw us out
Kill us burn us down
But we won't back out
No we won't back down
We are comin' now
We are comin' now

Fall
02:20
|
|||
Fall in the middle
Of the city
Where everyone's a star
At least everybody thinks that they are
Take a fall of the griddle
Lit like a flame
You were just a lot of rock
Shining like a diamond
You may have them fooled
But I am on to you
You may have been cool
But I see right through you
Fall in position
Here take your place
Quick hurry up now
Everybody pick up the pace
Fall demolition
Explode in a flame
You were just a lot of rock
Shining like a diamond
You may have them fooled
But I am on to you
You may have been cool
But I see right through you

Lullabye
04:48
|
|||
I gotta get out of this place
Driving me crazy
Too many people
Up in my face
I wear a smile
I do the things
I'm supposed to do
But when I lay at night
I think of you
And dream of flying away
To paradise
Sleep under the stars
Float for hours away
And even if we sink
I think we'll be alright
Dreamin' tonight of
Swimmin' through life
Caught on a rip tide lullaby
And even if we sink
I think we'll be alright
Dreamin' tonight of
Swimmin' through life
Caught up in a rip tide lullaby
Walk along the misty beach
Early in the morning
Stay out til sunset
Light a fire
And dance away the night
Under the starry sky
Sun on your skin
Wind in your hair
Sand in your toes
Salt in the air
And even if we sink
I think we'll be alright
Dreaming tonight of
Swimming through life
Caught up in a riptide lullaby
And even if we sink
I think we'll be alright
Dreaming tonight
Swimming through life
Caught in a riptide lullaby
Drift up in the morning
Wood stacked on the beach
Gather it together
Make it a tee-pee
And light it on fire
Swimmin' along
And even if we drown
We'll be among
The Sirens & the Tritans
Mmmmmmm, Oooh oooh
I don't know what to say here
But I like this vibe
Ooooooooh
Ooooooooooooh
Owowowowowowowowowo
Even if we sink
I think we'll be alright
Dreamin' tonight of
Swimmin through life
Caught up in a riptide lullaby
Yeah even if we sink
I think we'll be alright
Dreamin' a life
Swimmin' along
Caught up in this riptide lullaby
Mmmmm I gotta get away
Tonight

Now Speak
03:38
|
|||
You notice sunsets &rainbows
Butterflies & Bumble Bees
Monet & Van Gogh
Waterfalls & Autumn Leaves
Smiles from a stranger
While I grin invisibly
You look out for danger
While I'm safe in misery
You see everything but me
I need one reason
Not to leave
So speak
Or forever hold your peace
Make me believe
There's no better soul than me
You can hear the whispers & noises
Melodies & quiet
Laughter & voices
City streets & Sirens
Compliments from strangers
While I exist in hiding
You listen out for danger
While I cry in silence
You hear everything but me
I need one reason not to scream
Now speak
Or forever hold your peace
Make me believe
There's no better soul than me
'Cause the moment I finally
Walk out that door
there's turning back
you and me are no more
So speak
Or forever hold your peace
You looked for me out there
While I was dying in here
You stumbled around so blindly
All I wanted was for you to find me
So speak
Or forever hold your peace
Make me believe
There's no better soul than me

Daydream
05:05
|

It seems after all of these years
I ended up where I began
So much time spent running to find
I'm already who I am
And now I see the best thing for me
Is just to wait
See what happens
And in a few years' time
I'll realize
It's all been just as good
So why not today
Be exactly as I am
Show you my face
And tell you where I stand
But it's not a race
It takes time to decide
And to do what's right
For now I'll just daydream
And hope that it all starts tonight
It seems after all of that time
I ended up broke and alone
All those days spent wasting my life
In somebody else's home
But now I know the one thing to do
Is just to let it go
And find out today
Just exactly who I am
Show you my face
And tell you where I stand
But it's not a race
It takes time to decide
And to do what's right
So for now I'll just daydream
And hope that it all starts tonight
Do you hear the calling?
Do you listen when it pierces your heart?
Do you heed the warning?
Will you give in and let your life start?
Will you be ready to stand up and face
The dark times with grace
And be ready to fight?
So why not today
Be exactly who I am
Tell you my story
And take you by the hand
But it's not a race
It takes time to decide
And to do what's right
For now I'll just daydream
And hope that it all starts tonight
For now I'll just daydream
And hope that it all starts tonight (x3)
