Through Your Eyes

Uh oh, watch it go,
Here it is its moving slow.
But still its up to me, watch and see,
Thanks for all your understanding though.
But you told me through your eyes,
You told me through your eyes.

Process, progress, words swim by so fast.
Try to hook a few, nothing new,
They just keep on flowing past.
And you told me through your eyes,
What's not hard to recognize?
Is just a simply sewn disguise.

And I heard it through your bedroom window,
What's weighing us down?
The world revolves around too slow,
Not making a sound.

One, two, what's true?
Take off your thick furry robe
and let it slip down where no one knows.

I'll try this one more time before I'm in bed,
It's not your attitude, the way you move is what puts you ahead.
And you told me through your eyes
When I sought for compromise,
And it came at no surprise.

And I heard it through your bedroom window,
What's weighing us down?
The world revolves around too slow,
Not making a sound.

Regret It And Let It

Forget it, just regret it and let it.
Let me in, hear me out, let me back in.
Open up your mind to the rhythm and set it
To the lowest possible setting we have got to give.

Oh you go about your days
Settled safely in your ways
And in your reasons,
Got it figured out.

But when I try my best to get inside,
You turn away, I wouldn't understand,
I do, I can, I'm telling you
You wouldn't have to feel so helpless.
Breathe and just let go.

Forget it, just regret it and let it,
Open up your mind and let me in.

Trying hard to keep it in,
You're always looking for the ending
And beginning to give out.

But when I try to open up your eyes,
Take a chance and help you understand,
You are, You can, I'm telling you
You wouldn't have to feel so helpless.
Breathe and just let go.

Forget it, just regret it and let it
Open up your mind and let me in.

Carry On

Carry on,
Open your eyes now the dream has gone.
This is nothing but the world that we
Have weathered all along.

You escape,
And take your time as you recreate.
Bend the limbs that have turned to stone
From carrying that weight.

What does it take to move you?
What will it be tonight?
If I speak will I lose you?
Standing back and losing light.

Now let it all fall away.
Whatever it is, it's okay.
You're shedding what never mattered now.
Who's trying to carry on?
Who's worrying where she's gone?
You'll ever be coming on somehow.

There's a will
That finds a way when your heart stands still.
Turn around, there's a place to stand and there's a void to fill.
Turn around now from years and years of trying to fall uphill.

What does it mean to meet you?
What do I say tonight?
I thought half might reach you,
I was only halfway right.

Now let it all fall away.
Whatever it is, it's okay.
You're shedding what never mattered now.
Who's trying to carry on?
Who's worrying where she's gone?
You'll ever be coming on somehow.

Now your eyes are turning down,
Turn away from burning ground.
Find your way by firelight,
This is not the end tonight.

Now let it all fall away.
Whatever it is, it's okay.
You're shedding what never mattered now.
Who's trying to carry on?
Who's worrying where she's gone?
You'll ever be coming on somehow.

As Soon As I Discern

Separate my brain
And try to analyze my
Thoughts while you detain
My aching body.
And once you're there, will you tell me what you find?

I'm prudent and I'll strive to be indulgent
But I'm carsick from this drive, we're going nowhere
And I've been down bad roads like this before.

It's always hit or miss, I'll cast the die again
For someone I might kiss,
Wait till you're older.

And I can't decide, am I wasting time?
It's harder when you look me in the eye.
And how do I reply?

The pressure's mountain-high, and on the farms below
The healthy crops supply a certain solidity.
Said "I'm a bean, I been here a long time".

But where may cogs diverge, I'll surely share with you
As soon as I discern… no no no no no.

And I can't decide, and I can't say why.
It's harder when you look me in the eye.
And how do I reply?

Waiting up, I'm losing light.
Sleep in late, stay up all night.
Oh will I ever get it right?

You Got It

It's on your chest,
You got it, got it.
You take a breath,
You turn it, turn it
All around, turn the table down.

Who's taking sides?
You're taking over.
Push back the tide,
Got it covered and
Taking on all and everyone.
You make your move,
They fall and you've won.
One more time, back again where we've begun.

Now you gotta turn it over,
You burn it over and over again.
Wave along what you believe in
Cause you got reasons for leaving it in.
Find whatever echoes back and
We'll make a pact when the facts are a lie.
Till they're seeing it through your eyes.

Can't turn around,
You got it, got it.
Don't let us down,
I bought it, bought it
All along, now I'm moving on.
Stuck on the ball
You started rolling.
Too scared to fall,
Who's controlling?
And who can't stop? Turning till you drop.
Your ship is sailed,
Grab hold as it fails and think
"Lead me out and make me drink".

Now you go defeat it over,
Repeat it over and over again.
Push it down and just forget it,
Cause you'll regret it to let it all in.
Find whatever echoes back and
We'll make a pact when the facts are a lie.

Till they're seeing it through your eyes,
And you're saying it through your knife.

It's on your chest,
You got it, got it.
You take a breath,
You turn it, turn it.
I look you down,
I sought it, sought it.
What have i found?
You're not it, not it.

Come Around

All at once the scene becomes
A faint and far-off play,
Colors in the sunset turn to gray.
The season breathes a frigid breeze
And sinks beneath your skin,
Don't you find the feeling's wearing thin?
Can't you feel it coming on again?

Hours now just pass you down,
The warmth has left this place.
Sleepwalk through the ones you once embraced.
Something more there was before
Is missing from these days,
Somewhere on the streets we used to play.
But like a dream the words all slip away.

I was trading my bones for pins,
You were turning your feathers in.
Oh, if this is the same old place
Oh, there's somewhere inside that
You have got to change to take it

Back to how you're always wanting,
Reach out from the streets you're haunting,
Close your eyes and just forget it.
Rise above the voice and let it go.

But if you wanna see,
Don't leave.
What has happened?
Fell asleep.
So come around again,
Until then
Nothing really happens.

I was trading my bones for pins,
You were turning your feathers in.
Oh, if this is the same old place
Oh, then somewhere inside you've
Got to make the change and take it

Back to where the colors shook you,
Leapt from every open book.
You know my restless thoughts are straying.
Someone else's voice is saying no,
But now it's time to go.
Why don't you turn and just be gone?

But if you wanna see,
Don't leave.
What has happened?
Fell asleep.
So come around again,
Until then
Nothing really happens.

RockSolid

You sing to me,
I want you now,
I can't go back to my old things.
You have a way
Of reaching me,
And pulling all the tightest strings.

But you calmly say, smooth tone
"Even that that's rock solid sinks to the bottom,
Deeply tucked away."
And I still reply "Listen, I'm only coming
Straight out of my head and I'll be running
Back again one day."

I ran along
And put it out
Of mind and out of hand.
Like a laser beam,
I burned through all the
Things I couldn't understand.

Like you calmly said, smooth tone
"Even that that's rock solid sinks to the bottom
Deeply tucked away."
And I still reply "Listen, I'm only coming
Straight out of my head and I'll be running
Back again one day."

And I'd give it all
To see through my fatal flaw.
A stone, a star,
A story that I could carve.

But you calmly say, smooth tone
"Even that that's rock solid sinks to the bottom
Deeply tucked away."

If You Do

What's come of this but burning out your drive?
Six years just missed on burning alive,
And still you see no changing.
Kindly once you asked while leaving us behind
What would it take to change all our minds?
It's taken all this time.

Well what you see is what you get and
What you don't is what gets you.
Now the mantras and the medicine set in,
and I don't know what to do

And I don't think I could
Go the way you choose, but if you do,
Keep this inside:
Holding on to what you've got to prove
And letting go of what you have to lose
Is coming true.

Alive, alone you listen to the sound
Of pushing stones they're tumbling down
To land where you began.
Every now and then I fall into a
Reverie for when this city that
Never dreams will let you in.

And you think you've got a grip when you start out,
Never thought you'd lose a part of you.
Hear them laughing as you're pouring your heart out,
And forget you when it's over

And I don't think I could
Go the way you choose, but if you do,
Keep this inside:
Holding on to what you've got to prove
And letting go of what you have to lose
Is coming true.

Sing out, make me come around.
Sing out and make me.
Sing out, make me come around.
Sing out and make me.

What's come of this but burning out your drive?
Six years just missed on burning alive,
And what else could I say?

Show me something I'd have never believed and
Show me something from the rolling abyss.
Looking back upon what you had conceived,
Well you saw yourself here, but it wasn't like this.

And I don't think I could
Go the way you choose, but if you do,
Keep this inside:
Holding on to what you've got to prove
And letting go of what you have to lose
Is coming true.

To The Snow

I don't want to argue
Another time with nowhere to go.
And please don't let it scar you,
Bundle up we're heading to the snow.

And now it's time to let it go.
Before you go too far down this road,
So take it back.

You know I hate to barge in,
But there are some things you ought to know.
Slipping at the margins
And the high road's moving way too slow.

And now it's time to call it off.
Before you find out just what it costs,
So take it back.

I see thumbs to twiddle
Timorously, noncommittal "I just
Need a little time."
And icy, like a frozen pine tree
Have you chosen wisely
How you're keeping warm?
So take it back.

Before you go down this road,
Now it's time to let it go.
Timorously, I need a little time.

Askew

Something surely stung you and the young
Inside they settled in and grew.
And all the things you should've bottled up,
You coddled up and put 'em in the stew.

And I've heard it all so
Let me put it all in view.

Now you spin around, you spit it out,
You spill it all across the floor.
Well it's no wonder that the ship you bring around
Gets people bundled at the door.

And I've taken all I can but
You keep returning here and burning on straight through.
But you don't wanna hear it so why don't you just
Tell me what to do?

You said you know,
You pitched a tent and stole the show.
It stole you blind,
Now you're crossed up in a bind.

You're lashing back once and for all,
Gnashing at the shadows on the wall.
Sitting in the dark,
When did this start?
When did this stark cruel ship embark all alone?
Sitting in the dark
A million miles from home.

But then you'll know.
I bet you'll wish you'd never flinched away from crow.
Another blow,
You blow your lid and and let it go.

But I told you I wouldn't wait for you,
So call me up when the anchor drops.

And I've taken all I can but
You keep returning here and burning straight on through,
Cause something here's askew.

Keeping Me Away

Staring at the clouds and I'm caught in the rain
It's soaking through my skin or spinning down through the drain
But I'm learning that this is how it is
Never had a chance, never noticed or tried
To slow it down and look what I was pulling inside
But keep turning, cause that's the way to live

But you've got to play
The runaway

I'm starting over new
I'm throwing off the casts that I've grown into
And what I think I need
Is keeping me away
Keeping me from what I see

Tell me what you've learned in a world you belong
And tell me how you'd notice if you had it all wrong
You're not aimless, so tell me what you know
When you gotta swim can you trust in your eyes
To pull you to the surface when your heart's telling lies
When it's painless to pull yourself below

Keeping me away
Keeping me from what I see

Through Any Eyes

Take it slow, but don't wait now.
No mistake now, try your wings.
Get up and go, though it drains you
This could change you and everything.

So let go of the feeling
Till you know the fate you're sealing.
If something still matters,
Can't afford to see so fractured.

So hold on tight, and move tonight,
Come out of your own.
Hold up your end, and let me in
To shatter the stone.

Don't wait up, don't stop moving,
You start losing the only sight.
We'll stay up, it gets harder,
It gets darker before the light.

So go back to nothing,
Better here than out there bluffing.
And shake off the tatters,
Can't afford to see so fractured.

So hold on tight, and move tonight,
Come out of your own.
Hold up your end, and let me in
To shatter the stone.

I finally found what I came for,
I know what I aim for,
And what it takes.
When my misgiving derails me,
When willpower fails me,
And when it breaks.

You've seen what damage can happen,
What bridges collapse when
You stop to blink.
Through any eyes that have shut off,
The thoughts that are cut off
Are all you think.

So wake up in awe and ask yourself why,
Keep up the work and never say die.
You got the chance, you got the right to say no.
Turn on the light where sleeping dogs lie,
Caught in the corner of your mind's eye.
Get up and now get out and let your self go,

Shake off the dust that's hanging like chains,
In your synapses, over your veins.
Take what you do, do what it takes to pull through.
Light up the torch and gaze on what lies,
Keep it alive and keep it close by,
For all that you wonder and all that moves you.

How can you see the world in your place?
How can you fix what you cannot face?
Whatever is, it'll be here tomorrow.
Caught in the corner of your mind's eye,
Light up the torch and gaze on what lies,
What you can be's waiting on who you are so go.

Running

Was I up too late last night for you?
Did I keep you awake, up there with nothing to do?
Well I'm sorry baby, please forgive me,
It was very important and I hope you can see
That I've been working too hard for myself,
I gotta break this habit 'cause it's bad for my health.
And I'm sorry baby, please forgive me,
And I hope you can see, and I hope I can sing for you.

I've travelled across the mountains,
I've waded through the sea
Just to get to you so you could get to me.
And if you look back on our plan
Where we have gone and where we'll land
We'll make history.

And if I think I know my reason's good,
I got no place to go nowhere to be.
So if you'll just look over what I have said
then you'll see, then you'll see

That I'm running,
That I'm running back to you.

On My Way

(We say 'Whoa' a bunch. I'll spare you.)

Driving, driving on my way to see.
Yes I am on my way, yes I am on my way.
Keep in focus try to stay with me.
This time I've come to stay, yes I have come

Now it's harder than you thought it'd be.
Well baby don't be scared, 'cause I am almost there.
Girl, there's no reason to worry.
Well I am almost there, yes I am all

When the skies were clear
We were far away from here.
So hold on, be okay,
'cause I am on my way to say

Everything's gonna be alright
Don't worry baby, trust me baby.
Everything's gonna be alright
Just trust me baby, trust me baby.
Yeah everything is gonna be alright.

Everything's gonna be alright girl.
Everything's gonna be alright girl.

Take A Look

Well you tell me that you don't need help,
But I can see that you could clearly use some.
So come on lay it on me.
It's all about perspective.
You need to see things just a little differently.

Take a look and turn it upside down.
And now the sky is underneath the ground.
Yeah, so turn up all your questions,
Rearrange your problems.

Now you should see quite clearly,
The blood is rushing to your head.
I've said all this sincerely,
But only you can find out what it's meant.

Oh well now you want an answer,
I've only got solutions,
And if you do not like it,
then pardon my intrusion.
I guess it's up to you now.

Take a look and turn it upside down.
And now the sky is underneath the ground.
Yeah, so turn up all your questions,
Rearrange your problems.

When You're In Town

Would you tell me next time that you're in town?
'Cause my feelings for you have changed.
And would you be so kind to tell me
Next time you come around?
'Cause my feelings for you have changed.

So things have changed now.
Nothing's the same now.
And would it be so bad for you now
That it's not for me?
As you can plainly see.

Things have changed now.
Nothing's the same now.
And would it be so bad for you now
That it's not for me?
As you can plainly see.

I look up, I get up though it's gone away.
But it's not so bad for me to say
I feel it, I need it, so come today
And it's alright for me to say

The Things We've Chased

Drifting on by,
I told you you're drifting,
But you sank into the sky,
You said you need lifting.
Sleeping where you lie,
You're tossing and shifting, but why?

The things we've chased
Will go to waste.
Dust from the dust that we hold,
Left in the cold.

You are standing at the center of the ocean.
You are fading from our memory.
Throw off this weariness and make a motion.
Drive off and send your waves across the sea.

Starting from the ground,
Where the seeds are all greening,
You take a look around,
Find something with meaning.
Felt like you had drowned,
It's alright if you're leaning and weak.

The things we've chased
Will go to waste.
Dust from the dust that we hold,
Left in the cold.

You are standing at the center of the ocean.
You are fading from our memory.
Throw off this weariness and make a motion.
Drive off and send your waves across the sea.

Well the shallow end is caving in,
It takes and breaks you as it spins,
So keep your head above and swim away.

You are standing at the center of the ocean.
You are fading from our memory.
Throw off this weariness and make a motion.
Drive off and send your waves across the sea.

Victoria

These hollow eyes
We cut to glow
Are amber carved and starved for something true
To hold onto.

Open wide,
I'm breathing in
The furthest black and backward holes to know
(Don't look down, further now)
Now where I should go.

So go by lonely open roads
(Don't let go, never know)
Unseen by eyes disguised and slowed

Victoria, Victoria
Is there any blow we've yet to feel tonight?
Victoria, Victoria
Only you and I and memory tonight.

So open wide,
I'm breathing in
The furthest black and backward holes to know
(Don't look down, further now)
Now where I should go.

Victoria,
Now hand in hand,
You feel me shake and wake and reignite
(Don't let go, never know)
To feel tonight.

So carry close the ghosts and gone,
(Don't look down, further now)
Alive and warm the form of dawn.

Victoria, Victoria
Is there any blow we've yet to feel tonight?
Victoria, Victoria
Only you and I and memory tonight.

Don't look down,
Further now.

Down By The River

Down by the river that flows
Northeast and it's going where no one knows.
If you follow the stream in to town
It'll get you moving, turn you around.

And it's alright with me.
Alright with me.

And we're singing girl,
If you wanna take a ride,
Just for one night,
Come on maybe this time.
And we're singing girl,
If you wanna take a chance,
Give up all romance,
Just for one night, just for one night.

Did you ever think that I thought about it?
Girl I know that living isn't that easy.

Girl,
If you wanna take a ride,
Just for one night,
Come on maybe this time.
And we're singing girl,
If you wanna take a chance,
Give up all romance,
Just for one night, yeah.

Stop The Show

If you can hear me,
Long enough to see

Don't look, don't leave and
Don't close your eyes.
Now you've got no choice,
No chance to fight

And now the tumors that they're feeding
Leave the lost consumers bleeding.
All the rumors we're believing now.

So can we stop the show
Long enough to catch a breath of "No"?
Can we not pretend
Long enough to see where the cycle will end?

There once was a time when
The stars would light our way.
Now we need just enough to
Crawl in our caves

And condescend to those who wonder,
Men are means to end and plunder.
We'll transcend the filth we're under now.

So can we stop the show
Long enough to catch a breath of "No"?
Can we not pretend
Long enough to see where the cycle will end?

Now the tumors that they're feeding
Leave the lost consumers bleeding.
Choose to bloom or wither pleading now.

So can we stop the show
Long enough to catch a breath of "No"?
Can we not pretend
Long enough to see where the cycle will end?

Atomic Reaction

It's like an atomic reaction!

And when I look into her eyes,
I see the moment of surprise.
And now I'm searching for a way
To have this feeling day by day.

Now I'm looking for a reason
It's not the season without you there.
Now I'm searching for a passtime.
It's not the last time that I will say
It's like an atomic reaction!

And as I look into her eyes
I see the moment of surprise.
And now I've found a simple way
To have this feeling day by day.

Now I'm looking for a reason
It's not the season without you there.
Now I'm searching for a passtime.
It's not the last time that I will say

Now I'm looking for a reason
It's not the season without you there.
Now I'm searching for a pastime.
It's not the last time that I will say
It's like an atomic reaction!

3 AM Electric

Good news, you're fading far away.
You're shrinking in the distance of this
Sad and stolen day.

Bad news, You know it doesn't soothe the burn.
We both know I'm running and
Awaiting my return.

Too late, finally fled this cheerful death,
But still I smell the fallacy and
Tarnish on your breath

Someday, when twisting spirals cross
I'll tear away the hopelessness
That clings to you like frost.

And for these bricks and bones
With no more to show for
A halo hanging by my loss.
And for a word I've thrown
My hand shut to stand but
Somehow I wound up with a cross.

Seeping through the seeping silent herd.
I'll be your 3 AM electric
And you can be my dreamscape lightning bird.
Warming by the storming of a match,
I'll be your 3 AM electric,
Your 3 AM electric.

Someday, in a burning paper frame
I'll set into this madness like
The moth into the flame.

Someday, in a dark and hostile night,
I'll see the white lies twist to black
Beneath a certain light.

And for these bricks and bones
With no more to show for
A halo hanging by my loss.
And for a word I've thrown
My hand shut to stand but
Somehow I wound up with a cross.

Seeping through the seeping silent herd.
I'll be your 3 AM electric
And you can be my dreamscape lightning bird.
Warming by the storming of a match,
I'll be your 3 AM electric,
Your 3 AM electric.

Now you've had your chance,
Oh, I've heard your lies.
This reluctant world
Can't see into your eyes.

Seeping through the seeping silent herd.
I'll be your 3 AM electric
And you can be my dreamscape lightning bird.
Warming by the storming of a match,
I'll be your 3 AM electric,
Your 3 AM electric.

Time

We are caught in a thing called time.
Oh let me fall away.
We are caught in a thing called time.
Oh let me fall away.

We are the most respected group in town.
We don't appreciate you being around.
It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
Where we all go.
It's a shame, it's a shame
Where we all go.

We are caught in a thing called time.
Oh let me fall away.
We are caught in a thing called time.
Oh let me fall away.

We are the most respected group in town.
We don't appreciate you being around.
It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
Where we all go.
It's a shame, it's a shame
Where we all go.

We all go.

The Day It Rained Hot Coffee

Your breathing is peaceful, you sleep full of dreams.
Candles and subtitled scenes,
And I'm a solace machine.

My mind keeps repeating a meeting of sets.
Symbols in old alphabets,
That I can't try to forget.

And my heart knew its lines, but the tongue got it wrong.
"Girl if i speak in riddles will you answer in songs?"
Keep quiet, just play along.

In jellyfish glory my story was wrote.
I don't sink or swim, I just float,
And I sting who I stroke.

But if I burn through this disguise
Will I melt the ice behind your eyes?

Now here lying naked, undone and undressed
With one naked lie on my chest
But baby I must confess,
Oh baby I never loved you less!

Colors sing in oblique tones,
Children play on the spin rides,
Angels skate across cheekbones,
Fireflies spill their insides.

This would be such a time to rejoice,
But there's a saccharine scarecrow in your voice,
I'm realistic:
Semiautomasochistic

If these walls could lie
I could give your wintercourse another try.
But I've learned about glory.
Let me tell you a story.

A baby flew from the womb, went
Running screaming for drugs through
Every hospital room, just
Pulling all of the plugs.

A baby flew from the womb, went
Running screaming for drugs through
Every hospital room, just
Pulling all of the plugs.

The doctors yelled and chased him through the crowd
While all the patients died laughing out loud.

Shall I live my life a lie
So you can save yourself a sin?
I pull these pieces out and say goodbye.

If these walls could lie
I could give your wintercourse another try.
But I'll burn outside the shelter in my eyes.

And if these walls could lie
I could give your wintercourse another try.
But I'll burn outside the shelter in my eyes
Like the day it rained hot coffee from the sky.

The King

I'm the king of Tecmo cheats,
Only smoke after football defeats.
I'm the King and I'm from the streets.

I was elected anonymously,
Means nobody voted against me.
I'm the King off Hall 4B

I'm the King
I'm the King
I'm the King
And all I do is drink things.

Spill my drink and throw the remote,
I'm forgiven if it broke.
I'm the King and you are all my folk.

This is my pulsar,
This will be my larasar.
I'm the King of Hall 4 Bar.

I'm the King
I'm the King
I'm the King
and all I do is drink things.

My right eye is crying for you.
Watch Conan and mute U2.
I'm the King but if Grider asks I'm just Drew...

I'm the King
I'm the King
I'm the King
and all I do is drink things.

Too Late

Too late, can't react,
Now there's no turning back.
I could use some more time right now.

So if you listen, listen close
Who do you trust the most?
Come on girl, I got faith in you, yeah you.
Who did you think I meant, darling?

Don't make me say it, say it again
It's too close to the end
to hold some small chit chat right now.

So pack your stuff, we're going now
there's no time for running out.
The world is ready to move for you, yeah you.
Who did you think I meant, darling?

I know you're tired,
but you can't sleep right now.
You got a long road ahead,
you've gotta save your breath darling.

So sorry, can't stop moving now.
Keep moving, time is running out
for who did you think I meant?

Misgiving

Run away, leave me here,
I just let it disappear.
Can I shout when my tongue turns tight?

Diagrams, maps and routes,
It's too much to think about.
But I know I can set it right.

But misgiving gets me everytime,
All I could need is in my fingers and I'm
Missing the dreams that I've known.
You gotta help me cause I'm slipping into my own.

In a dream, I was lost,
Night time came and arrows crossed.
And for years I awaited day.

There she is, waits for me,
Ready as I'll never be
And I just turn away.

And if you give up now I can only allow,
And I will sleep until I'm awoken.
But if you find a way to listen you'll hear me pray
You're open.

Misgiving gets me everytime,
All I could need is in my fingers and I'm
Missing the dreams that I've known.
You gotta help me cause I'm slipping into my own.

Don't let me let go
When everything's leaving,
I don't wanna be alone.
But every chance I've found,
I only let me down.
I'm trying and trying,
Still I'm sinking like a stone.

But if you let me in, someday I'll try again
And I will speak until I am spoken.
And if you find a way to listen you'll hear me pray
you're open.

Misgiving gets me everytime,
All i could need is in my fingers and I'm
Missing the dreams that I've known.
You gotta help me cause I'm slipping into my own.

Give and Take

It's easier pretending, but you know is true,
And it's been eating at you time and again.
It's looking like the only thing you can't explain
Is all the places that you find yourself in.

And even though she can't relax,
She's starting to relate.
And even if she's all alone,
She's not afraid be that way.
We're quiet cause we don't know what to say.
And we watch it all go by from the backseat.

The conversation's turning and she can't escape,
It keeps on happening again and again.
She's going with the motions but she can't deny
That she's got something else inside of her head.

And even though you can't relate,
You're starting to relax.
They're telling you to open up
And kill the time you won't get back.
We're talking cause we don't know how to act.
And we watch it all go by from the back seat.
You give and take, you'll always be incomplete.
