1.Overjoyed
You name me
Who am i
That i should company with something so divine?
Mercy waits, overjoyed
Prospect of finding, freeing
Freeing me
Chorus:
Love is the thing this time i'm sure
And i couldn't need you more now
The way that you saw things were so pure
Overjoyed
You name me
Entertain
Thoughts of peace can overcome anything
Mirror spins
Wicked tales
Here lies reflections of
Deceptions of
Missing the me from you you gave to me
I don't like the one i have created today
Crossing nameless from the one i've earned
To be the one, the one you gave to me
You name me
Name me
Finding, freeing me
Overjoyed, overjoyed
2.Fade To Grey
It's not hard to know what you're thinking
When you look down on me now
Your trance of love is seeking
To turn this world around
But in my state of blind confusion
No god can pull me out
I see your love is willing
To turn me inside out
And then i see you there
The lonely tears i cry
I wish they'd release me
It's in despair that i find faith
Summon the night to bow down to day
When ignorance is bliss
Save me from myself
Chorus:
And then i see you there
With your arms open wide and you try to embrace me
These lonely tears i cry
They keep me in chains and i wish they'd release me
Cold is the night but
Colder still is the heart made of stone, turned from clay
And if you follow me
You'll see all the black, all the white fade to grey
Fade to grey
Fade to grey
3.Tea And Sympathy
Fare thee well
Trade in all our words for tea and sympathy
Wonder why we tried, for things that could never be
Play our hearts lament, like an unrehearsed symphony
Not intend
To leave this castle full of empty rooms
Our love the captive in the tower never rescued
And all the victory songs
Seem to be playing out of tune
But it's not the way
That it has to be
Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy
'cause it's not the way
That it has to be
You begin
And all your words fall to the floor and break like china cups
And the waitress grabs a broom and tries to sweep them up
I reach for my tea and slowly drink in
Chorus:
'cause it's not the way
That it has to be
Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy
'cause it's not the way
That it has to be
Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy
So fare thee well
Words the bag of leaves that fill my head
I could taste the bitterness and call the waitress instead
She holds the answer, smiles and asks one teaspoon or two
Don't trade us for tea and sympathy
Don't trade us for tea and sympathy
We can work it out
Don't trade us for tea and sympathy
Don't trade us for tea and sympathy
We can work it out
Don't trade us for tea and sympathy
We can work it out
4.Crazy Times
You're cold that way
And that's why you say
The things that you say
You can't attract
The things that you lack
You're trying in vain
Chorus:
It seems it's always the crazy times
You find you'll wake up and realize
It takes more than your saline eyes
To make things right
You spiral down
You've broken your crown
You don't feel like a queen
You've seen the proof
But you're still crying wolf
You'll never believe
You try to climb a broken ladder
Grip the missing rungs
And fall down, down, down
Seems sometime ago you said
This wouldn't last
And now you sit here crying
Beside your bed
You feel left for dead
You kneel in the dark...
It takes more than your saline eyes
To make things right
5.Frail
Convinced of my deception
I've always been a fool
I fear this love reaction
Just like you said i would
A rose could never lie
About the love it brings
And i could never promise
To be any of those things
Chorus:
If i was not so weak
If i was not so cold
If i was not so scared of being broken
Growing old
I would be...
I would be...
I would be...
Blessed are the shallow
Depth they'll never find
Seemed to be some comfort
In rooms i try to hide
Exposed beyond the shadows
You take the cup from me
Your dirt removes my blindness
Your pain becomes my peace
...frail
6.Five Candles(You Were There)
A promise or a dare
I would jump if i knew you'd catch me
Staring over the edge
I can't tell if you'll be here for me
I close my eyes and make a wish
Turn out the lights and take a breath
Pray that when the wick is burned
You would say that it's all about love
Chorus:
You were there when i needed you
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
You were there when i needed you
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
You were never here
I remember you said
Love was more than your good intentions
Empty boxes on the floor
Things i never asked you for
I pray that when the wick is burned
You would say that it's all about love
I can't see the promise of
Excuses you fall upon
I pray to god not holding on
To things you've left undone
You were there when i
You were there when i
You were there when i needed you
7.Weighed Down
Light of the world
Are you still here?
And are we illuminating?
When love becomes a delicate display
So weak, dissolved by anything
Love lies here waiting all alone
Can a king be a king
Weighed down?
Our hearts, a bubble maker's dream
Moved on by winds of everything
As we deny that love is still the king
Not as weak as we make him out to be
Love lies here waiting all alone
Can a king be a king
Weighed down?
Weighed down
Weighed down
Weighed down
Weighed down
8.Portrait Of An Apology
Look what i've done
This picture i've painted
It looks like my heart
Or what still remains
Convinced of the weight
Your interpretations
Are not what i see
I wish they could be
I remember it much redder
I remember it much brighter
Chorus:
Can you stay for a while
Try to imagine this
Could you be for a while
I can't remember it
Could you fall for a while
I can't escape from this
I'll try to explain
The way that the frame
Doesn't quite fit the image
Or surround the edge
It stands on display
What do you see?
Behold all the new grey
What's become of the old me
I remember it much redder
I remember it much brighter
Calling, crying, ashamed of what i am not
Really failing, falling into this cage and i can't escape
I can't escape
Look what i've done
This picture i've painted
Doesn't quite fit
Or surround the edge
I remember it much redder
I can't escape, i can't escape, i can't escape
9.Truce
Faultless in the eyes that i could never open wide enough to see
me through
Much to my surprise it never orbits around the things you should
hold me to
I stand here...wondering
And i'm waiting
Chorus:
My ear is twisted in all the thoughts
A glimpse of truce just because
It's always almost never close
I close my eyes, hide the distance
Enchanted by the face of peace and when it turns to sunken eyes
and waterfalls
Unsatisfied with simple things entangled in the chords, i can't
take any calls
I stand here waiting
I'm calling
Waiting around for some kind of peace
Hoping you find me in my need
My ear is twisted
It's always almost
10.Much Afraid
Empty again
Sunken down so far
So scared to fall
I might not get up again
So i lay at your feet
All my brokenness
I carry all of my burdens to you
Chorus:
All of these things
I've held up in vain
No reason nor rhyme
Just the scars that remain
Of all of these things
I'm so much afraid
Scared out of my mind
By the demons i've made
Sweet jesus, you never ever let me go
Oh, sweet jesus, never ever let me go
So happy to love
Yet so far to go
You lead me on to where i've never been before
