It's
All You
Driven to live, but now I complain
I’m fallin’ apart when I feel this way
I can’t ignore, I can’t exist
The door is locked and on my mind it’s…
Anytime you want me, I feel good all over
Spending all my time, it really is a good thing
This is good, it’s all we have
Now I know there’s nothing left
I’m trapped, I’m trapped
My head is filled with facts
And it’s all you
Sick in the head, I think it’s a game
But if it was, I wouldn’t feel this way
I’m doing my chores, I’m checking my list
I’m walking the dogs, and on my mind it’s…
I’m gonna get so wasted, gonna feel good all over
I’m spendin’ all my time wishing you were with
me
It’s you, it’s you, it’s you, it’s all
you
It’s you, it’s you, it’s you, it’s all
you
Weird
I’ve been thinking all day, but I’ve got nothing
good to say
There’s a war on my mind, let me leave it all behind
Things we’ll never share are hangin’ heavy in
the air
With all the weird on the way, let me have a perfect day
But paranoia’s contagious; I’m coming down with
it, too
You better throw your trust on the fire first
Before I do
It’s a world of demand, it doesn’t stop to understand
And it’s of world in demands, doesn’t stop to
understand you
If you’re waitin’ on me to tie you up, set you
free
You’ll be waitin’ all day, all I wanna do is play
But paranoia’s contagious; I’m coming down with
it, too
Better throw your trust on the fire first
Before I do
Before I do
And if we wanna be happy, it’s all here to be used
But settin' the world on fire burns, I thought you knew
You thought I knew
We never knew
We never ever knew
We never knew
We never knew
Bird
in the Hand
All washed down the drain, all washed down the drain
Take it home with you
I don’t know what to say to you
But I know how it can be
Drop to the whisper, and take it while you can
It’s only a little bird in the palm of your big hand
Racked my brain and now I’m confused as hell
I don’t know what you want
If it’s all the same, I think I’ll go on home
Droppin' a whisper, and take it while you can
It’s only a little bird in the palm of your big hand
No one can change
You can’t change
Break
Free
Watch the night slip away
It’s what I’ve done because your eyes saw such
a tragedy
Such a tragedy
Tell the rest to me now
It’s what you mean, but I feel like I’m getting
in too deep
I’m getting in too deep
You’re threatened by this town so, lock your door and
break free
Lines nurse lies ‘til the end
I understand, but it’s a shame that you let me in on
them
You let me in on them
But I can be good, and you can be good, and we can be good
I asked you for the truth so, lock your door and lose me
Tree
See how we’ve taken all this sweet time to decide
Watered that tree, watched it grow another 50 feet high
Together, shared and strong
Step right in
Forever is not that long
Let’s begin
Feel this connection like the earth underneath me
I feel this connection if I'm here, there, or anywhere I
stand
Feels right, all poured down
We’ll see it through
The future, the here and now
Me and you
And it’s sweeping our childhood away
Hand in hand, we set off on our own
But Heaven’s not ours, and truth could be a game we
play
Strip the branches bare, but the tree stands on its own
See how much we’ve grown
Pleasure takes its toll, people lose control everyday
Hypocrites like us deserve a little trust along the way
Together, shared and strong, we try again
Forever is not that long
Let’s begin
Let’s begin
Nick
of Time
I guess when you met me, it was OK
‘Cuz you made an exception for a thousand ways
I’m sorry baby, yes, I was unkind
I'm beginning to forget you’re a friend of mine
Destroying us in destroyer world
We don’t need to know what you’re worth
Compare yourself to nothing and no one
You know it because you started out
[Repeat]
You started out
It was the nick of time, girl, you got it all right (X3)
Flame
I don’t wanna be the one who rides flame
I don’t know her name
And I don’t wanna go where the seekers all go
I don’t wanna know
You can feel anything you wanna feel
You can feel anything you wanna feel and call it real
But I don’t wanna be the one who rides flame
I don’t wanna be the one who rides flame
I can’t complain, though I’m wrapped up in chains
I can’t complain
Everybody’s got the right to be free
But that’s not me
And you can feel anything you wanna feel
You can feel anything you wanna feel
You can feel anything you wanna feel
And call it real
But I don’t wanna be the one who rides flame
I don’t wanna be the one who rides flame
Hit the flame, burn a hole in my brain
Never be the same
I try to take it slow, but she’s pushing me to go
Where I don’t wanna go
And you can feel everything you wanna feel
You can feel everything you wanna feel
You can feel everything you wanna feel
And call it real
But I don’t wanna be the one who rides flame
I don’t wanna be the one who rides flame
So
Long
If I'd had any sense, would it come to grips?
If I go on home, would I have stayed around so long? Sooooo…
I don’t know, I don’t know
Pressing it to your lips, threaten me with your fist
We're swimming out to sea, I think I know how it will be
Oh, what I wanted; all I can have
Oh, what you wanted; all you can have
So you keep the change; you stay the same
And no one can tell
Love
Is Stronger
Please give me back my life if you plan to let this die
I said I don't mind when I do
'Cuz I'd do anything for you
I'd watch us waste away if you smile
And if we lose it all in style
We had style
But I'm not happy where we are
Let me blame it on the stars, the words, the room
Love is stronger than the truth
Another year in paradise, but something’s wrong
Do your best to play along
'Cuz I won't make you tell me why
'Cuz I don't take my own advice
If I'm here to save your life, let me try
Love is stronger than the truth
I have everything to lose if you leave me
And truth won't ever set us free
Oh, we're magic spiked with lies
We may never realize what we've been through
’Cuz love is stronger than the truth
Love is stronger than the truth
Decide
You give faith to deadly snakes, retain the need for names
Now burn your books for me
Confusion must end, jarred-up sympathy
I’ve been here, but you won’t hear, what have
you to say to me?
Blood-crazed
Vampires wear a straight face
The love, hate
Expression of your dead weight
Oh, go back down and load up what you can’t sell
And you don’t sound the same
And there’s no one around who cares what you say
Oh, I wanna trust you; don’t do that to me
I’m right here without my fear
And all I need to be
Can’t take a switch-hitting twist in the name game
I made a mistake trusting you with what I make
Crowd control, assume the role
Mr. Pointy-shoes put a pen to your soul
Crowd control, assume the role
Mr. Pointy-shoes, put a pen to your...
Blood-crazed
Vampires wear a straight face
All the love, hate
Expression of your dead weight
Dead weight
Colorblind
Time to fake a miracle, memorized emotion
Memorize lullaby; changin' the arranged deal
Tell me every reason why, cradle my confusion
Memorize lullaby; changin' the arranged deal
I wish we were colorblind, we could heal ourselves
I wish we were colorblind
I wish I were invisible, I'd sink into myself
Black and white and beautiful
Why’d they make it ugly?
Crackers in their camouflage, headin’ for the hills
Now it’s time to close your mind ‘cuz Mother Nature
tells you to
I wish we were colorblind, we could heal ourself
I wish we were colorblind, kept it to ourself
Colorblind, lullaby, haunted ‘til I’m pacified
Think it to myself
I wish we were colorblind, we could heal ourself
I wish we were colorblind and kept it to ourself
Colorblind, lullaby, hold me ‘til I’m pacified
Singing to myself
Thrive
Pick a habit you can trust
We all need the reassurance
Blanket stretched across the window
A friend to walk you through it all
That could change if I was angry
But after all, it turns me on
It made all my good decisions; even helped me write this
song
Back when I was young and clever
Traced a pattern in the wood
I thought I’d get my shit together
Now I know I never could
‘Cuz it’s a pornographic sunrise
Static curtains that draw on our lives
But we still thrive, through every time
But we still cry, through every dive
But we still try
Too old to apologize (X2)
We’re too old to apologize (X2)
So pick a habit I can touch
Be as happy as you should be
Could we talk, is it too late?
Could we try again tomorrow?
Cuban
It’s time to live inside, but don’t complain of
need to hide
The air is all-expendable and seizing over wind.
Wander around the bend
While we are trying to begin
Vision of lifelong wasted meaning, explaining, please expand
upon
Clearing out the closets and nothing’s what we need
to build
In the first place you’re all right the way you are,
the way you are
Grabbing all success begins where you thought it would all
end
Don’t complain, just clear away
Take off your shades and put them away
You’re OK (X6)
It’s OK
You’re OK
Sorry
No, I mean it, I’m really sorry; here I’ll say
it again
I want you to know it, but the more I say it
The less it means in the end
Working for respect’s like climbing a mountain
And I think I’m losing my grip
Once I’m fallin’ and I think I’m fallin’
There’s no gettin’ back on pace
But my face makes that sorry shape
I know who I am, but I lost my grace
I'm gettin' a stick and I march for more
Now I was wrong, everybody knows
My mouth is moving but nothing’s changing
I just can’t leave it alone
Nervous defense that’s doubled to senseless
Milked it dry like a bone
I milked it dry like a bone
I just can’t leave it alone
I milked it dry like a bone
I just can’t leave it alone
But my face makes that sorry shape
I know who I am, but I lost my grace
I'm gettin' a stick and I march for more
Now I was wrong, everybody knows
Everybody knows
No, I mean it, I’m really sorry; here I’ll say
it again
I want you to know it that the more I say it
The less it means in the end
Drag
Down
It’s what they call switching lanes
In the left hand driving in the right hand driving
And it all seems the same
I can’t get enough and you can’t set it up
A big omission and a thin disguise—oooohhhhhhh
And I was hoping for a nice surprise
Down on my knees
I was saying it and you wouldn’t listen and it all
can’t go on
I was getting higher; I was trying hard
Oh, drag me down
I need it
Oh, drag me down
Those suspicions are a waste of time—oooohhhhhhh
And I was hoping for a nice surprise
Feed our trouble well
Learn to feel, I can learn to feel
I can hate it
Oh, drag me down
Those suspicions are a waste of time—oooohhhhhhh
And I was hoping for a nice surprise
