Other Light

Never tell your friends
They'll never understand
Confessions only for themselves in the fire
Chok on every word
That no ones ever heard
Your Sentamental thoughts are strangled and tired

See it in another light
You'll see it working out alright
I know I won't change any mind
As long as there still changing mine

The simpleness of it
Telling you again
What they're thinking could be so unbecomeing
But you don't have to take
Remember your mistakes
You'll always see it as a fall as your running

See it in another light
You see it working out alright
I know I won't change any mind
As long as you're changing mine

See it in another light
You see it working out alright
You know I won't change any mind
As long as you're still changing mine




Complicated Questions

Easy to be taken with everything you're saying
Make us perfect and say it all again
But if every single second's killing
Tell me I'm dreaming
I'll sleep it all away

Tear out this love
Tear up the root
Tear out this love
Tear me from you

You know you can tell me anything you want to
Tell me something that I'd never hear
you could be cautious as the words roll over your tongue
I'm stung with sick discovery

Tear me from these complicated questions
Taking all the empty spaces inside me
I don't want to bear those simple answers
But complicated answers never did you any justice anyway
And I don't want to hear you lie to me
Complicated as we are we're going to have to burn it all away




Stay In Shadow

So cold that you cannot cope
With a frozen heart
I guess we blow apart
I guessed it from the start

Stay in shadow
I'll run this world out
Stay in shadow
It's running out of time
Stay in shadow
I want to watch it drown
Stay in this now

Don't say because you can't
Say what we should have been
Don't show what I resent
Don't know cause I forget

So cruel to be so blind
Darkness was on my side
Now that you've come and gone
I know where I belong

Light is leaving as I watch you go
Light is leaving inside of my soul




Good Times

Something has stuck in
Underneath my skin
Eyes all looking in
For something within
Somewhere in here

Now everything I say
Gives this all away
Senses deadened again
Nothing lives today
Not in here

Here in your head

Careful what you're feeling
On the inside
You should try to remember
The good times and the high life
Are you feeling alright?

Felt that I belonged
And now I feel that gone
Where it all went wrong
I traced it all along
Back here again

There was something calling me
To negativity
Dark covering me
Shrouding every scene
I'm cast in

Careful what you're feeling
On the inside
You should try to remember
The good times and the high life
Are you feeling alright?

Careful when you're feeling
Out of your mind
You should try to remember
The strong lines in the spotlight
Till you're feeling alright

Please answer
I'm calling just to find out
If you could be here
For me when I crack
The answer came
I found it buried in
The trash there
I saw it stare

Careful what you're feeling
On the inside
You should try to remember
The good times and the high life
Are you feeling alright?

Careful when you're feeling
Out of your mind
You should try to remember
The strong lines in the spotlight
Till you're feeling alright




Absent Elements

Everyone plays along
Get them giving or steal the life they're breathing
They'll grow sickened
Take their secret codes and signals
Discover all they know
Keep up the pace now until it all dries up

You'll never find out now
That all these absent elements
Build your comfortable defense stronger still
Like an emptiness

Way too early to consider losing
Vacant staring may discover some reflection
Or may discover none
Just think what you've done
And watch it all add up

Like an emptiness you'll never fill




Thousand Mile Wish

Forgive me if now I wear the face of worry
This time alone could never cause any doubt
But I've been cold too long
Such a strange time to find myself coming down as the rain
With all the holes my love,
To fill up from the middle
This storm could stay all night

So can you stay until we close our eyes
Til your dreams hold mine
Just stay until we know we tried one more time

Cause laughing lovers can overcome their closest demons
And they'll go on and they won't let go
They saw something that they know
Has never come so close
Can it stay here for us, for now?

Can it stay until we know ourselves?
I'm torn as I tell
You're the story that I know and fell from
I'm so far into your story I don't know why
We think we're in control
When we lie between the lines

We'll find a line to follow
It's got to show real soon
Or we'll never reach this high

We climb a little further
Cause there's nothing we can't get around together
Further gets colder until nothing was all that I saw around

So we stay until the ground
That we can't come down from splits us away
Maybe stars know why we fall
I just wish they were thinking out loud
Oh, I could wish all night




Conversations

Something
Changing
The secret is building
Almost
Over
And somehow seems a beginning
Losing focus
It must be boring
Looking forward never turns out the wrong way
(Speaking with no one)

Conversations alone
Complicate us together on our own
Conversations alone
So alone

No one
Calling
But someone
is bound to reply
No one
Out there
But someone hears every wordI
know we're
playing the same game
Easing the conscience by
(Speaking with no one)

Conversations alone
Complicate us together on our own
Conversations alone
Keep us from being alone
Alone

The road was taken
The path leads on
Til a new one�s left to clear
The signal�s given
The show turned on til emotion cut too near

The road was taken
The path led on
The signals given
The show turned on
Still receiving
And still believing
The time that you take isn't gone

Keep us from being together on our own
Together on our own




The Last Scene Of Struggling

The static grows
And kills the message
Unclear as the wind blows
Thin whispers through
All the wreckage

We search and plan to fail
Looking to save the story
So be sure to bang the nail
And seal the exit out

Feel the way
Through your revelation
Does it feel the way you want to,
You want to?

Just say it like it's all true
Just tell it like you want to

You bled along
The edge of reason
You couldn't change your mind
Into the dying season
Don't explain, I know
The lies which you let go
The ones you thought you knew
Held onto deep, dark truth

Feel the way
Through your revelation
Does it feel the way you want to,
You want to?

Just say it like it's all true
Just tell it like you want to
Calculate one last scene of struggling
As I'm sinking I'll be looking for you
'Cause you know who to blame

But you can't (you can't you can't you can't) stop the pain (the pain the pain
the pain the pain)
Cause of what the blame (the blame the blame) meant to me to me to me

Feel the way
Through your revelation
Does it feel the way you want to?
You want to?

Just say it like it's all true
Just tell it like you want to
Calculate one last scene of struggling
As I'm sinking I'll be looking for you
'Cause you know who to blame
As I'm sinking I'll be looking for you
'Cause you know who to blame
As I'm sinking I'll be looking for you
'Cause you know who to blame




Panic Attack

Thought I could fake this thing alright
Thought it could somehow get me by
Watching the doctors as they slide
Needles into my eye

Thought I could finally get around
Laughable symptoms keep me down
Faces I see all keep me blind
And now they're redemption�s mine

Now that I can't exchange actions for words
Now that I found these inside fears the worst
Now that I know there's no place left to hide
Can I become all I thought I might

As the leaders who follow the path of whoever was standing round them
Call to say what I'm missing and into a detail they always go
Don't believe them but offer condolences under the circumstances
All too often I'm missing the spirit to fit in so call me out

Thought I could soundly sleep tonight
Positive clear and breathing right
Panic attacks, panic attacks me now
Seems like a fair redemption




Therapy

Wide awakened out of spinning
Round the safest orbit
You controlled the ordinary
I was grateful for it
Wide awake in the beginning
Trembling after the fall
Only half my world remembers
While the other half revolves

Cut off cause I can't remember
A face that could cut me deeper
But hearts could never leave me bleeding
Becoming the cause and burden
The lesson begins unlearning
And it has never been forgiving my dear

It's all too familiar
I've been here before
I'll carry this weight for your smallest reward
Because I'll continue to break down the door
Just let me in I swear
It will not be like before

Can't think of what to say
I can't think of what to do
I just think I might be losing my mind
Can't stop this agony
Cancel my therapy cause
I just thought of you
And now I feel fine

Collecting the strangest conscience
Apathy returns it's offense
But only after I get moving
Relax and being the change
In time for the newest age
To help me find out what I'm missing in here

I covered all the grounds and I uncovered our design
And every second I have spent has come to remind me in time




One Thing

Restless tonight
Cause I wasted the light
Between both these times
I drew a really thin line
It's nothing I planned
And not that I can
But you should be mine
Across that line

If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldn't that be something

I promise I might
Not walk on by
Maybe next time
But not this time

Even though I know
I don't want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds




Obvious Heart

The obvious heart has come to collect
Cause it tore apart like a tortured insect
The obvious heart waits here to heal
And balances out a subtle reveal

Cause there's a remedy close
In a familiar dose
This bitter pill to swallow
Is lost in the bottle tonight
You're empty it's alright

And full of yourself
No need to explain
To anyone else
Broken in time
Taken what's left
No need to deny
The cause or effect

This heart is not a broken one
But where have all the colors gone
It's still among the lucky ones

This heart is not a broken one
But where have all the colors gone
You're still among the lucky ones
And burning longer than the sun

Cause there's a remedy close
In a familiar dose
Now you can find out who knows
Soaking in truth that she says
And taking chances
