New Life
04:56
|
|||
What i know, what if you knew what i know
the secrets out before displayed in show windows
keep keeping up my hopes there's no holes
allowing light to shine when only shadows grow
there is no connection don't be shallow
the rising waters beg for light like shadows
can't help but sit here talk for hours
the worst part's knowing only drowning hovers - lighting showers
new life, i'm seeing in new light
no longer is dead the night
hunger's making it so i can no longer go
take dreams, make real all your fantasies
taking note of life's mysteries
and the worst part's the first - it no longer works
walking away from this
don't beg me to stay cuz i will
never return - always on the run
now i'm stuck in this new life

Elevate

if you want to stay awhile but you’re
begging for a break
baby please don’t hesitate and stay
i might be the first to be the last to exclaimate
babe giver me a chance ill show the way
been around the block before
was never quite this sure
now the time seems stopped
every moment wanting more
okay
now it’s off my chest i fell i dropped
can’t you recognize know you’re not blind
i’m yours to take
i love you let’s get up and out this place
i won’t compromise this time
refuse to toe the line
it must be the real we can’t define
and nothing else we’ll take
i want you to want to stay awhile in my embrace
don’t leave me - but baby don’t you tease me
don’t you deceive me
just stay and we’ll be great
stay and we’ll elevate
just stay and i’ll love you always

New Skin
04:48
|
|||
yesterday - not so great
the past keeps pouring into present tense
that’s not me, that’s not me!
anymore, anyway.
don’t swallow so the medicine’s won’t take
this is me, what do you need?
don’t wait for the day, for life to take its shape
please don’t go away
a cause for grief
the apathy apparent in your speech
it’s not everyday - affects me this way
please have mercy on me
the arrows gone and cut me down to size
should be no surprise cuz this is your life, your life
this is my life
don’t wait for the day, for life to take its shape
please don’t go away
let me begin, i’ll shed old skin
let new days begin
let’s take a ride, up life’s sky-rise
retire in the sky

No Other
04:55
|

been left in the dust - leaves me
stuck in a rut
baby, please dig me up
i’m so done with being a bust
“soon enough” leaves
so much to trust
being, somewhat a must
maybe ill be too much
no way - this is sane
this is love
there’s won’t be another
cool comforting sounds will smother
every doubt, every bout that comes our way
been caught up in past demons
of with which have zero meaning
i beg let them stay as a yesterday
this is love
there’s won’t be another
cool comforting sounds will smother
every doubt, every bout that comes our way
give us time and we’ll soon uncover
your light stokes the stars we sleep under
let this be oh baby please!
i told you from the very first time
since this is love i want you in my life i’m gonna lie
well you’d never believe me
when i said this isn’t a dream
this is love
there’s won’t be another
cool comforting sounds will smother
every doubt, every bout that comes our way
give us time and we’ll soon uncover
your light stokes the stars we sleep under
let this be oh baby please!
let this be

damn you (no - damn me)
03:30
|
|||
how long before i beat myself to death?
the sweetest dreams cannot pretend to kill unrest
mind’s shaking
a lifetime worth waiting itching for a break
take pride in your powers
you me and the our’s
and melt shame down the drain
shut down ill never speak another word
found solid ground up on my feet no longer hovering above the earth
mind’s shaking
a lifetime worth waiting aching for a break
take pride in your powers
you me and the our’s
and flush shame down the drain
i’m not about to be blindsided

The Change
03:56
|
|||
when living just seems right
cut out all the little lies
found meaning in your life
getting better all the time
standing up and showing fight
i’ll make the change for you
you kiss my little cuts
make the damage turn to dust
this life’s hard enough when stuck in ruts
why must i be making such a fuss
when your touch just fills me up enough
i’ll make the change for you
believe me ill pull us through
i will remain with you
whenever there’s too much “too”
just call me and say that you’ll stay
we won’t be better if you choose to stray
time will demonstrate how the choices we made
please don’t forget who we are
forget what we said
i feel like you’re feeling your feelings dead
i’ll make the change for you
i will remain with you

In Between
03:56
|
|||
tired of the games just to relate
to love is to want make all go away
a moment away hate separating
got no defense make feeling life days
since i've been asking for a lot more laity
oh my god how i’ve changed
caught a feeling - finally a meaning
that to become one is what we’ve now done
while trying to separate all i’ve known
gravity pulled my head to my toes
what good is belief if not for sure?
reality checked in the room is now full
follow the footprints this is elementary
cracked the case now it’s closed
look what i have done
two could’ve become one
tears now melt the sun
afraid to fall and falling’s won
since i found love, nothing fits in between
since i found love, a fine line falls fast asleep
since i found love, nothing fits in between
i’ll fuck this up, a fine line won’t last to see

That Ain't Bad
03:59
|
|||
i’m a bit afraid
just take a look while i demonstrate
i’m not making the same mistakes vie made
like taking back promises before they break
ashamed
we never cleaned up the wreckage to drain
all the unspoken words that were never exchanged
i’m naming the blame that’s the way this game’s played
be strong, so long!
i don’t miss you now that you’re gone
it’s too bad and you can bet your ass
i’ve got no sadness and that ain’t bad
so long
this road’s eerie like a picture
i’ve been here before
and whether its with or without you
i walked alone
this constant taunting brings me down
my conscious can only hold so much
be strong, so long!
i don’t miss you now that i’m gone
it’s too bad and you can bet your ass
i’ve got no sadness and that ain’t bad

A Life Worthwhile
02:15
|
|||
one big lie
while trying to find peace of mind
done and did split my side
but not the laughing kind
the sort when one falls behind
and fails to live a life worthwhile
so what's with the fuss?
it's only mind games and such
and rearranging i must make or bust
when i've died (i'm good as gone)
can only hope left behind
a legacy not to be denied
one big life
hypocrisies far and wide
i'd rather live and look better behind
