1.Bring You Down
You took me by surprise
A stranger through my eager eyes
An ego that's been spilled and spoiled
By another
But don't let me bring you down
No don't let me bring you down
No don't let me bring you down
Again...
I tried so hard to hide
The cynic in me far from sight
But moments still arise when
My flaws get the best of me
So don't let me bring you down
No don't let me bring you down
So don't let me bring you down
Again...
All brings sudden feeling of helplessness
Love me down to the bottom of myself
(I couldn't wait for you)
That who's bound to my heart singing
Loud enough to drown out beauty now listen
(I couldn't wait for you)
So don't let me bring you down
No don't let me bring you down
No don't let me bring you down
Again...
2.Whisper
There's shadows on the walls
Of moments far too troubling to recall
All the settings and the scenes
That signal suffering
Impassioned pleas that ended in a whisper
In all the lessons learned,
Were they worth the ash from all the bridges burned？
Standing, stomping in the damage and
The ruins of a slip of tongue
With tragic consequences
I think that we've all made our gravest mistakes
On the greatest intentions that we're too stubborn to let go
With this little time before I go,
I'll open up my mouth,
And scream it out
To cast my voice
Into the crowd
Now that you're alone,
Is it really so impossible to know
All the actions and reactions
Pinned against each other
3.Shame
You had them fooled,
And I'll admit you had me too,
But you're awfully chique,
To act so clean, I...
Can sense a shake,
An oscillation
Your voice,
The closet's full,
But the door's swinging open,
Shame.
That you couldn't suffer the blame,
Cause now it's the only way
That you could find the fix, to mend.
It's the art of deceit,
With elegance you plead,
And captivate,
And never was there doubt in my eye.
With the silent sound,
I see you were standing still in a silent calm,
With curtains drawn,
Cursing at the light,
Shame.
That you couldn't suffer the blame,
Cause now it's the only way,
That you could find the fix the nightmare
Shame.
That wouldn't suffer the blame
You know it's the only way
That you could find the fix to
Mend these lies.
You now leaving anything back in this world for us
So don't go taking anything back from this world but,
Shame
That you couldn't suffer the blame
Cause now it's the only way
That you could find the fix to mend,
These lies.
4.An Escape
Oh ho, where have you gone, and will you ever come back to me
completely？
All the holes I've bleed from, forcing eveyrone around my heart
to leave me.
I could tell, there was nothing left for us, when you turned
your back. Between the arms of another, you were crying under
the covers for a way, a way to escape.
Oh god, where have I gone？ And will I ever get the one's I tell
to believe me？
All the things I have done, to keep those around from learning
to read me...
I could tell, there was nothing left for us, when you turned
your back. Between the arms of another, you were crying under
the covers for a way, a way to escape.
So I guess I'm pressing on, without you...I hope it goes the way
you want to. Nothing ever seems like it does. And I don't
believe a single word I say (Don't believe a single word I say).
I could tell, there was nothing left for us, when you turned
your back. Between the arms of another, you were crying under
the covers for a way, a way to escape.
5.Shouting at the Rain
I tried to sell my soul a million times
But never got an offer
No never heard a word return out of the dark
But I would throw my voice
Maybe I just haven't got the goods
Maybe I've forgotten
The way to find the peace in me
Down below, down below
But I hope that we can find it
Yeah hope that we can find it
Yeah hope that I can
Get back to the way I was
Back before we knew what I'd become
I know everything's less
But with a steady hand
I can fix myself among the men
Among the men
I tried to give you all I had to give
But you just wouldn't take it
No you wouldn't hear the words I cried out in the dark
Cause you had turned away
So maybe I haven't got the goods
But maybe you've forgotten
The way to see the peace in me
Buried down below, down below
But I hope that you can find it
Yeah hope that we can find it
Yeah hope that we can find it
I hope that I can get back to the way I was
Back before we knew what I'd become
Back before we knew what I'd become
6.The Kiss of Life
Hope was closing with my eyes,
down the shallow grave I was lying
Then I heard someone say you'll be stuck here forever,
but I prayed it wasn't forever
'Cause you were leaning over me,
clutching memories of when I was alive,
and then you breathed life into me one last time.
But I prayed it wasn't the last time,
because it would be so wonderful to see your starry eyes again.
Give me more than the things that I've lived for
I'm only echoes of the man that I'm supposed to be
Because I want more of the things I'd die for
I want to feel it in my soul
Now that you've unburied me
Dust me off and carry me home
And I beg you sing life to me again
I promise this won't happen again
Because it would be so wonderful to see your starry eyes again
7.Girl
You got your scene pinned underneath your thumb
And that's the way you need it, yeah!
You got the dirt that hurts on everyone
And all the people see it, yeah!
Every single heart would be for you alone if you would let it.
Starving eyes led by subtle lies.
No one knows the way you are when you're alone 'cus you wont let
'em.
Cut 'em off before they get too close to you!
Every single heart would be for you alone if you would let it.
Starving eyes led by subtle lies.
No one knows the way you are when you're alone 'cus you wont let
'em.
Cut 'em off before they get too close to you!
Don't let 'em in
Don't let 'em in
You gotta keep yourself composed.
So, don't let 'em in
Don't let 'em in
You gotta cut them off before they get too close to you.
8.Cycles
Led me to the air again
Searching through the memories of when
I could speak with no reserve
Cutting through the noise we heard
Here with all that I have done
I'm still falling back to where
I've come from
Leaving our routine far behind
And giving up every luxury to move on
But where, oh where, can I go？
If I'm still stuck right here
With all that I have done
I'm still falling back to where
I've come from
But I'm trying my best to find
A reason for going on
To keep me going on
Should I just give in completely？
When everyone is watching
Cause everyone is watching
And every eye shot to defeat me
And everyone is watching
Everyone is watching
Where, oh where, can I go？
9.Sweet Naiveté
The soft unsettled quiet from a million questions never answered
(Oh)
Expecting conversational return more akin to diapason (Oh)
Hope for reason fades away, a hint of heartache in it's place
Gone is the time when I could survive nursing on a sweet naivete
Waiting for you.
But I'll still hold on hope, as frail as the evening's ghostly
gloam (Oh)
Staring till' the stars align
Gone is the time when I could survive nursing on a sweet naivete
Waiting for you.
And still we stand here praying, for something more divine
Our hands clasped so tightly, but our eyes are closed and shy
We move along when there's nothing left for us
We'll move along when there's nothing left for us here.
10.Let Go
Sleepless nights
Dark
An interval
When the worst of me
Simply can't concede
That I am stuck in superstition
Cause the things I've known
Never turned out so
So I'll try and let go
Of all of the wicked things
The haunted melody
A song of spirits last dawn
The notes of a string refrained
It never seems to find its way
So I'll give in
And live life the way that I have always been
Ghost still wailing at the door
Begging to be let in
I'll try and let go
Of all of the wicked things
The haunting melody
A song of spirits last dawn
The notes of a string refrained
It never seems to find its way
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Something says that I will be alright
If the best in me
Won't admit defeat
11.This Vicious Place
Words without regret
And meanings lost in dialect
And loveless prose cried out instead
And saying what we wish we could have said
And how we both were moved
To this vicious place we never knew
I would give it all away for one last chance to speak to you,
lover
Still a silence grows
Like a child of passionless pedigree on their own
A wound still rests in me
From echoing voices too painful to sustain
And how we both were moved
To this vicious place we never knew
Can I give it all away for one last chance to speak to you,
lover？
12.Don't Look Back
I left my home
But I lost my way
And I never stopped
No I never strayed
Cause I tricked myself into carrying on
But I was only doing what I thought I should
I won't look back
Don't look back
I woke up in a wreck of romance
To find myself in circumstance
Beyond control, beyond context
She was only doing what she thought was best
But to fall in love
Could it ever be enough？
Save the past from catching on
Not to risk what you haven't done
So give it away
Cause the kind can be cruel
When the weight is all on you
To move the right
To move to the left
To do what you think is best
