Static 02:04
Running through the haze Trying to find a better place to be Head is in a daze Can't make out the reason I'm still searching Can you help me Find a little clarity Maybe then we'll be ok So tired of this space Cluttered memories they keep on haunting me If I make it through this maze Maybe the next one won't be so hard Can you help me Find a little clarity Maybe then we'll be ok

I've made mistakes Turning left instead of right I guess it's true what they say Sometimes you stumble and fall Watching Two feet on the ground Breath in And I'll follow you all the way down All the way down I've learned a lot Through a past of broken hearts And through all of that I'm still waiting for the call Watching Two feet on the ground Breath in And I'll follow you all the way down All the way down (Noodles: John then Dayton) Watching Two feet on the ground Breath in And I'll follow you all the way down All the way down All the way down All the way down

When I look around I see the world has changed The things I counted on now seem so strange When I was younger time moved so slow Now I blink my eyes and wonder where it goes And I try to find the answers in the eyes of my friends But all this misdirection leaves me empty handed Later on (When you're gone away) When you're gone (I need you to stay) It won't be long (Don't leave me this way) Later on (One more day) Many books were penned by far better men About the time in life when everything changes And you see yourself in a different light And you start to question what you thought was right And you try to find the answers in the eyes of your friends But all this misdirection leaves you empty handed Later on (When you're gone away) When you're gone (I need you to stay) It won't be long (Don't leave me this way) Later on (One more day) And you try to find the answers in the eyes of your friends But all this misdirection leaves you empty handed Later on (When you're gone away) When you're gone (I need you to stay) It won't be long (Don't leave me this way) Later on (Need just one more day) Later on (When you're gone away) When you're gone (I need you to stay) It won't be long (Don't leave me this way) Later on (One more day)

Stare into a photograph And lose a thousand years The twists and turns that made the path The laughter and the tears Why has it come to this? Was it something I have done? Check the lamp for one more wish A mistake to be undone When you lose your footing And your down to a thread You might think it's easier To let it go instead But keep on hanging on Keep on hanging in You will find a better way For the story to end Keep hanging on Keep hanging on Footsteps in the distance And I know that someone's there Will it even make a difference If there's not enough to share Time is a tricky thing It's emphasized my man And it keeps on changing Whether or not I can When you lose your footing And your down to a thread You might think it's easier To let it go instead But keep on hanging on Keep on hanging in You will find a better way For the story to end Keep hanging on Keep hanging on When you lose your footing And your down to a thread You might think it's easier To let it go instead But keep on hanging on Keep on hanging in You will find a better way For the story to end Keep hanging on Keep hanging on

The Gift 02:43
Wake up from a catatonic state Eyes are on fire from all that I see Twisting words to fit inside their meaning Questions are toxic to magical mystery Tracking the lines on my fingers Searching for answers that seem to allude me Breathing the air that suffocates you What is the meaning and why can't I find the truth Minutes to hours to days Months are like weeks Years are flying by Lonely bitterness fills my memories Is there no happiness without compromise Tolerance seems to have abandoned me Ignorant souls ever complacent Pointing their fingers and accusing Science be damned in place of religious fear Searching my soul for a pulse Reason tells me that I am alive My feelings are my own and they are with me If your god is real then so is it's gift free will

Pure Misery 02:21
If I could find the words to say All the things I want to say Another place and time That I could make the rhythm rhyme Another space another void Something less like this noise That I'm offering today In my stupid kind of way SometimesAllMyThoughtsJustSeemToRunTogetherOneAfterAnotherAndICantMakeThemStopToMakeSenseTheyreRunningOutOfControlAndWhenTheyFinallySTOP I ca n't se em t o pu t t he m ba ck to ge th er t o m ak e mu ch s en se t o y ou I' m a m e ss i 'm a fo ol Sometimes I'm pure misery All apathy no energy When the world just comes apart I just want to be in your arms Sometimes I'm pure misery All apathy no energy When the world just comes apart I just want to be in your arms When the world just comes apart I just want to be in your arms In your arms In your arms In your arms

The Mistake 01:33
I'm such a shit I treat you bad You are the best friend I ever had I'm such an asshole Though you never complain I kept you waiting And drove you insane There's nothing I can do To bring you back Everything you need Is something I lack It's going to drive me crazy There's nothing I can do Nothing I can do To bring you back You were so perfect Everything I want If I had a problem You were in the front of the line To try and help me You were there But if you needed me I didn't care Now if I need you You won't answer the phone If I come a knocking You won't be at home There's nothing I can do To bring you back Everything you need Is something I lack It's going to drive me crazy There's nothing I can do Nothing I can do Nothing I can do Nothing I can do To bring you back

Hello there I can't complain but I'd like to try any way WHY MUST THINGS ALWAYS BE THIS WAY FOR ME? I try to find my way with matches in the dark BUT THE LIGHT SWITCH SEEMS TO FAR AWAY TO SEE!!! Envision a rising sun Beautiful new day begun A picture perfect dream to me Picture of reality Not everything I thought it'd be But I guess that's OK with me I said I tried but I guess I didn't know SOMETIMES THINGS AREN'T MEANT TO BE!!! Oh well anyway, I guess I'll be OK AND IF NOT I GUESS I'LL JUST COMPLAIN Envision a rising sun Beautiful new day begun A picture perfect dream to me Picture of reality Not everything I thought it'd be But I guess that's OK with me Envision a rising sun Beautiful new day begun A picture perfect dream to me Picture of reality Not everything I thought it'd be But I guess that's OK with me

I heard you say that I have let you down Painted your background the color grey Maybe you don't want me here An unsightly smear just ruins your day It hurts me to see you draw the line Between you and I with permanent ink Now I see where you have put me Covered by the trees in the forest afar We used to be together in perfect harmony How can it be we've shattered leaving cuts on you and me You cut me out like I'm your Van Gogh ear You want me to disappear from your gallery But I am trapped inside this framed prison Forced to watch as you move on to another shade We used to be together in perfect harmony How can it be we've shattered leaving cuts on you and me This bloody canvas where our picture perfect love used to me An empty space with barely any air left to breathe (Plastic Love Medley) You are the girl of my dreams To me you're everything The girl of my dreams To me you're everything The trees are in the sky and the sky is on the ground This is what it's like to be upside down Birds don't fly They stand on the sky It all seems funny and I don't know why
