…Even Today

no sense of understanding
I was just passing by anyway
oh since when do you laugh at yourself
in the dark
of the day
in the outlines
sitting behind
ivy draped red brick walls
waiting for
one song
when you're back home
with your only family
and it came on
when it should've come
no senses go unread
I was just hoping to catch you on your way
oh since when do you lie to yourself
in the light
of the night
in the outlines
standing beside
ivy stained concrete walls
waiting for
someone
in your old town
with your only family
and you came home
when you needed to

All You Need to Know
03:20
|
|||
|
all you need to know
is you'll be ok on your own
right beyond the edges of this light
right between the bridges in the night
don't you be on my side this time
all you need to know
is you'll be ok on your own
|
||||
3. |

|
mountains rolling back to you
deserts turning blue
oh I couldn't save it
even if you asked me to
under rivers
under ground
all day
who wants the way down
who sees what's left now
calmly destroying
black tooth
eyes watching you
I wouldn't do that to you
oh I wouldn't do it
even if I had the chance
under rivers
under ground
all day
who wants the way down
who sees what's left now
calmly destroying

Time Capsule
02:50
|
|||
|
found
a time capsule in the ground
sealed in a plastic bag
filled with who knows what kind of junk
we don't recall
oh it's calling
it's only been found within a dream
found a rustic spot in a rusted out old car
looking for any glass left to break
left it whole
was towed in the woods to disintegrate
and trees grew around
already found
it's calling
already found
but only in a dream

That’s the Good News
02:57
|
|||
|
I can't stand all this nostalgia
your public acts of foolishness have made me lose respect for you
and I never want to be seen with you
and I never plan to again
that's the good news
all this sentimentality
it is shameful and it's lame
all I want to see is some evidence of your fame
that's the good news
we were once the same
but I found a better way
and I have seen you dancing upon the table and I know that it's not right without you gone
that's the good news

Free to Go Back Home
03:59
|
|||
|
they tell me I'm free now
free to go back home
to carry on with my old life
well that life no I can hardly remember what it was like
guess I'll go back home
find a way to disappear
I'm thankful for the reason
of the judges that put me here
to carry on with my old life
it's one that I barley even know since I've been stuck here
time to go back home
find a way to disappear
oh no
here we go again
this time I'll speak out strong and tell them how it really is
they tell me I'm free now
free to go back home
to carry on with my old life
that life no I can hardly remember what it was like
guess I'll go back home
find a way to disappear

Skylight
04:10
|
|||
|
I'm listening to raindrops on my skylight
I'm listening to every word that falls on me
light creeping through
those dark blue rains come back for you
I'm listening to every word that falls on me
a wave of news
tell me once again

Only Living Things
03:03
|
|||
|
only living things rest assured will find it out
far away and set to stay
there's no power in fearing change
halfway 'round the world and friends at home are all you dream of
if I can't have you there's no telling what I may do
only living things rest assured will find it out
troubles that we had made
there's no business in raising doubts

Fir Cones
02:47
|
|||
|
inside the fir cones that drop
we find an undiscovered camera stop
inside the neighbor's house
a blue canary cries
is it for help or something else
against the candy walls
temptation knows the chemical
my eyes will find another complimentary mint and
oh in the harvest days
nothing will return to the way it was before
on to the longest night of the year
inside the fir cones that drop
another pair of eyes is looking back
inside the neighbor's house
a blue canary calls for help
against the candy walls
temptation knows the chemicals
my eyes will find another complimentary mind and
oh in the harvest days
nothing will return to the way it was before
on to the longest night of the year
|
||||
10. |
||||
|
stop this train
inside rests your old happiness somewhere behold
what might spark this confidence
or will you lay down on your back in the water
oh what would make you believe
separate the fear from your heart
and listen
to what you say
what did you say was your one true passion
what might spark this fire again
or will you fall down to the lows of yourself in your imagination
oh what would make you believe
