Private Town
03:31
|
|||
All here
We're here
Some will, some won’t be here next year
Or that's what I hear
So it goes in the slow lane
The sort of place where you go straight when you’re turning
You know not everybody glows in the slow lane
That's what I am learning
The sun comes up and the day goes by and the sun goes down
They call it two plus a day then they hide you away
But you can’t get down
It's like a private town
Part two
It's about you
And what you may and may not do
Bad day, long stay
Where you don't ever get your way
Here we go in the slow lane
The sort of place where you go straight when you’re turning
It's not impossible to grow in the slow lane
That's what I am learning
The sun comes up and the day goes by and the sun goes down
They call it two plus a day then they hide you away
But you can’t get down
It's like a private town
Entry level judgment lapses
Personality non-clashes
Uninvited flashlight flashes
Self-awarded merit badges
Miscellaneous mad dashes
Unscheduled memory crashes
Don't let them know where the cash is
Get out before it collapses
La-la, la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la-la
La-la
La-la, la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la-la
La-la
It’s like a private town

Carry Me Home
03:46
|
|||
I don't know what it takes to get to heaven
I just know that someday I wanna go home
And I don't know if I’d call this life living
I can't seem to find a place where I belong
Carry me home
To where I belong
I’ve been on my own for so long
Carry me home
People say that love is the answer
Some people say you gotta have hate
I don't know if my soul is worth the saving
I just want to know if it's too late
For you to carry me home
To where I belong
Been on my own for so long
Carry me home
I've asked you to guide me so many times
Don't I have some nerve?
If your strength is inside me, why does it feel like you don't care?
Is that what I deserve?
Carry me home
Carry me home

No Love Like Yours
02:59
|
|||
Felt like I was broken
Felt like I was losing
Felt like I was sinking deep down in the ground
My enemies were hounding
The hatred was pounding
Your unfailing love just turned them around
And then I was found
And then I was found
Oh yes, I was found and pulled up from the ground
My everlasting light
A love so divine
You answered my prayer
You hear my cry
Long as I got you by my side
I am prepared for every fight
There is no love like yours
A love you can see
A love from the core
There is no love like yours
A love that is free
Forever and more
Sometimes I forget and try hard to progress
Sometimes I procrastinate and settle for less
I call on your name and the feelings I claim
As I declare this is what I profess
You bring the best out of me
My faith in you is all that I see
There is no love like yours
A love you can see
A love from the core
There is no love like yours
A love that is free
Forever and more
I am different now
No more going around
Had to calm myself down
And this is what I found
There is no love like yours
There is no love like yours

Dear Younger Me
03:19
|
|||
I'm so sorry that you
Put both of us through all the unhappiness
You walked all over me
I was your enemy
Now everything's a mess
We always knew better
But we could not resist
We wish life hadn't turned out quite like this
Please accept my apology
Dear younger me
Please accept my apology
Dear younger me
If we had only known that we could raise the tone
Picture where we'd be now
You thought you were so smart
I watched us grow apart
And we got lost somehow
We always knew better
But we could not resist
We wish life hadn't turned out quite like this
Please accept my apology
Dear younger me
Please accept my apology
Dear younger me

I don't know who you think I am
Or how you got that dumb look in your eye
Just try and keep it together
You'll be okay, dear
Please don't cry
I broke your heart
And you broke mine too
Maybe I'm not the girl you thought you knew
Maybe I'm not the girl you thought you knew
I don't know who you think you are
You talk a lot and you say nothing at all
You try so hard just to keep me up
When I go down no one can stop my fall
When I go down no one can stop this fall
You broke my heart
And I broke yours too
Maybe I'm not the girl you thought you knew
Maybe I'm not the girl you thought you knew
This is why I keep the bad ones by
I don't cry so hard when they put me down
They don't make me love the way the way you make me love
You’re just too good to keep around
You broke my heart
You broke my heart
I broke your heart
I broke your heart
You broke mine too
I am not the girl you thought you knew

Beyond My Reach
03:30
|
|||
These four walls around me are caving in
I wish someone could rescue me from the hell that I've been living in
Ashes surrounding, like vacant sins
When the dust and debris clears we'll see what tomorrow brings
I used to close my eyes
Fantasize what it felt like
A second in a simple life
I never realized I've been drowning in reality
Surviving on merely dreams
Four walls around me
Four walls around me
I'm losing my balance
I'm off the grid
I need a strong connection to my sanity
What am I bid?
Familiars are waiting beneath my skin
From dreams to reality
Closer than you've ever been
Four walls around me
Four walls around me
The smoke is clearing
What can you see?
You've watched me beg for mercy
Did you hear anything?
Bled out at your feet
I'm down on my knees
Paint a portrait with my pain
You can do what you please
Four walls around me
Four walls around me
Four walls around me
Wickedness has found me
I feel like I’m six deep
The clouds just beyond my reach
I'm drowning in my tears
Demons crawl at my feet
A second in a simple life

Coming Through
04:41
|
|||
I've been walking down this old road
Trying to find my way home
These woods are dark and so cold
The evil inside is coming out
Misguided and misplaced loyalties
To you I showed love
And I was true
Been treating scum like it was royalty
The evil inside is coming through
Time to choose
Choose to live
Die, love and hate
Choose to feel fear and pain
I'm skipping down this old road again
I see the clearing at the end
Light starts to shine through and hold
The pain recedes
I'm coming home
Let me rearrange my delusions
I'm not giving you answers or telling you why
I'll survive my scars and contusions
The pain subsides
But I'm keeping you in the corner of my eye
Time to lose this old skin
Feel everything raw again
Love and hate
Fear and pain
The evil inside is coming through

See You Smile
02:51
|
|||
I wake up every morning thinking I can see your face
But that just ain’t the case
We can't even hear your voice on these winter days
The shadow of your time is the only thing that stays
I would love to see you smile
On days like this we gather
Watch our home videos
Everybody knows
That you were the happy one
Or was that just a lie?
The sound of your laugh
The sound of your cry gets me by
I would love to see you smile
I would love to see you smile

A Show of Hands
02:41
|
|||
You're afraid the only thing I know
Is everything I do not know
Or you think I will lie because I'm weak
To hide the secrets in my soul
Maybe you believe I'm begging for another chance
All I'm asking for is a show of hands
I don’t want you to pat me on the back
I don’t need you to do my hair
I’ve been waiting in this empty room so long
I just want to know you’re there
This is not a manifesto or a change of plans
All I'm asking for is a show of hands
Everybody likes to get attention
Even I am not immune to it
I don't need an honorable mention
I just need to do my bit
This is one time I'm not waiting to be asked to dance
You're stuck with me until I see
A show of hands
A show of hands
A show of hands

Heartless Tempo
03:27
|
|||
It’s crazy the things that you make me do
They're all taboo
Your love is so hot and I'm so ready
But I can’t break through
I'm not good enough for you
Don't you hear my heart?
Like a broken drum, it falls
Our love has lost its flow
Heartless tempo
Can't your hear my soul?
Like a river drying slow
My high is running low
Heartless tempo
You just left me right here with no joy for tomorrow
You just took all my love and left me with the sorrow
Don't you hear my heart?
Like a broken drum, it falls
Our love has lost its flow
Heartless tempo
Can't your hear my soul?
Like a river drying slow
My high is running low
Heartless tempo
What did I do to deserve not to have you?
Where should I go when your love is all I know?
Wish that you were still here with me
I wish that you were still here with me
Broken drum
Like a broken drum
Like a broken drum
Heartless tempo
Can't you hear my soul?
Heartless tempo
Heartless tempo
Broken drum
Goodbye

Double Life Day
04:17
|
|||
I declare, this is hard to say
Unaware I would fly this way
I know I look like I'm okay but I'm just okay
‘cause I lost it on the runway
Welcome to my double-life day
This is my first exposé
I say yes and then I say no
I'm all dressed for the final blow
There am I, living life sky high
And it’s Christmas in July
I won't miss my double-life day
This is my first exposé
Don't you blame it on the money
I did what I had to do
It was a dumb one-way ticket
The only way out is through
I declare that's all I had to say
I was there
That was my double life day
That was my double life day
That was my double life day
That was my double life day
