Track Name: 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
Track Name: Envelope
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
Track Name: The Light
you took a ride back home
and found your hiding place
you said you were alone
I said I could relate

you'll feel just fine
just take your time

shadows blind your eyes
and 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

and there's no one to blame
for this cold, hard rain
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
Track Name: The Pain
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
Track Name: So Sorry
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
Track Name: Fly Away
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 away

they 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 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
Track Name: Left Right
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
and 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
and close their fists
and try to see
who they can hit
who they can miss
or 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
and 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
Track Name: 42 Days
catch me when you can
I'm the man you want to 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
Track Name: Survival
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 would 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
though 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
though 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
Track Name: Free
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
the one you'd never need

and there's no one
watching out for me
but I'm free

I'm free
