Darkness

Cram those books into your head
Wait to burn them when you're dead
It's always something someone said
That gives you life and gives you breath
Just don't forget the words you read
When darkness is in style again
We'll see who's sleeping in their bed
Shock those special cases
With a way to tie their laces
As they strive to round the bases
That will give them life and give them death
And don't forget the blood they bled
When darkness is in style again
We'll see who's sleeping in their beds
It gives them life and gives them breath
And don't forget the words they read
When darkness is in style again
We'll see who's sleeping in their beds
When darkness is in style again
We'll see who's sleeping in their bed

Envelope
02:52

You took my hand
Pulled me aside
Told me you had
Nothing to hide
I watched the rain
Fill up some puddles
Wrote down your name
On an envelope

The Light
04:42
|
|||
Took a ride back home
Found your hiding place
Said you were alone
Said I could relate
You'll feel just fine
Just take your time
You'll feel just fine
So just take your time
Shadows blind your eyes
They make it hard to crawl
Another day inside
And you might lose it all
But you'll feel just fine
(When the light comes on)
So just take your time
('Til the light comes on)
You'll feel just fine
(When the light comes on)
Just take your time
And there's no one to blame
For this cold, hard rain
And you might find your way
But lose your mind
You'll feel just fine
(When the light comes on)
So just take your time
('Til the light comes on)
You'll feel just fine
(When the light comes on)
So just take your time
('Til the light comes on)

The Pain
03:43
|

Can you understand the pain
Running around inside my brain?
Makes me want to run and hide
Makes me want to wear disguises
Don't tell me you don't know
How you really feel
Don't tell me you don't know
What is really real
'Cause I still don't believe
That you're still not relieved
To be here far away
From the pain
Did you learn to let go
Of the pain?
Did you learn to let go?
Can you understand the pain?

So Sorry
03:59
|
|||
I should have saved
All the things
I wanted to say
For another day
My throat was dry
Afraid to lie
Now I want to die
Waiting for your reply
I'm so sorry for saying everything
So soon I forgot you just had noticed me
I promise to learn from this mistake
Just say it's not too late
I know the way
The game is played
But don’t be afraid
We’ve got it made
We'll take our time
'Til birds don’t fly
We will be fine
Are you satisfied?
I'm so sorry for saying everything
So soon I forgot you just got over me
I promised to learn from this mistake
I guess I'm just too late
I’m so sorry so soon
I'm so sorry so soon, no
I'm so sorry so soon
I'm so sorry so soon, yeah
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry so soon
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry so soon
I'm so sorry so soon

Fly Away
04:41
|
|||
You can find me here
In this world of tears
But I'll never be alone
Though I may go blind
Burn out half my mind
I will never cry alone
I'll just fly
fly away
I'll just fly
fly away
You can leave me here
In this world of tears
But I'll never leave alone
Even though I'm blind
Burned out half my mind
I will never die
I'll just fly
fly away
I'll just fly
fly away
My eyes they hurt
So dry they burn
But I can still see clear
In this world of tears
Since you left me here

Left Right
04:30
|
|||
Crushed down below the sea
Underneath debris
Trying to breathe
But we are not succeeding
Much has happened since you left
But no one would have guessed
The best had yet to come
When you were off competing
With the ones
Who close their eyes
Close their fists
And try to see who they can hit
Who they can miss
Or who might need
Another left right
To the chin
Stuck inside another dream
Running out of steam
Dying to see
What happens when you give up
Such is life without the words
To capture what you heard
When you were young
When you still believed
In the ones
Who close their minds
Close their fists
And try to see who they can hit
Who they can miss
Who might need
Another left right
So we could laugh
We could wrestle on the floor
There’s so much
To fight each other for
And tomorrow
Come back for more
To the ones
Who close their eyes
Who close their fists
Try to see who they can hit
Who they can miss
Or who might need
Another left right left right, oh
They close their eyes
And they close their fists
And try to see who they can hit
Who they can miss
Or who might need
Another left right left right
Left right left right
Left right left right

42 Days
03:13
|
|||
Catch me when you can
I'm the man you wanna talk to
Got 42 more days
Before I'm dead
If life were a bit more giving
There'd be people
who’d miss us when we're gone
But no one listens to a word we say
But what I heard
When my head was buried in
The sand could shine a light
On who I really am
And I hate to pass it up
I'm just lucky I could find it
Still I'd love
To just rewind it one more time
And if you said it's for nothing
I would call it good for something
Just to keep you
From mumbling the wrong words
'Cause what I heard
When my head was buried in
the sand could shine a light
On who I really am
Can I trouble you for a light?
Gotta win this fight
If it’s wrong or if it’s right
I could use your help tonight

Survival
04:02
|
|||
If you’re not fit for survival
And you’re headed on your way
Then you forfeit the revival
Of the songs you used to play
So remember where you came from
‘Cause one day you will be there again
In the face of reminiscing
I think of her as dull
But just in case she’s listening
I’ll admit it was my fault
‘Cause she believes all that I tell her
And I wouldn’t want to hurt her again
And I was never sure
Of the way my life would go
Like many times before
It was all that I would know
And I can’t really tell you
What would happen if I tried
To admit to myself
That a part of me has died
I can see the sun is melting
As she slowly fades away
But there was just no helping
All the words I tried to say
If there was we would have made it
But there can be no turning back now
So it’s off with good intentions
And on with what is best
Until I find a place
Where I belong just like the rest
I should have guessed it would have taken
A couple of times or more before I’d know
But I was never sure
Of the way my life would go
Like many times before
It was all that I would know
And I can’t really tell you
What would happen if I tried
To admit to myself
That a part of me has died

What happened to the sun
That burned away the clouds?
What happened to the one
Who drove away the doubt?
What happened to your face?
It was gone without a trace
What drove you away
From this place?
I guess I'm supposed to be
Be the one you'd never need
There's no one watching out for me
But I'm free
I'm free
