1.Weak Knees
She gets up and starts another day
Stumbles toward the daily grind and is on her way past the
Faces that don't even know her name
Just another tragic tale these hallways shaped
You're getting up to be knocked down
She screams
no one understands her
That there is no prince
To carry her home
The time cards punched, the hours blur
These days at dead end jobs, lead to nights of slurred words
This lifestyle just takes a toll on her
Every mistake she makes drowns out her self worth
You're getting up to be knocked down
She screams
No one understands her
That there is no prince
To carry her home
But my heart is pounding
And my knees are weak
For this broken girl who doesn't notice
Another kiss another crutch
Her fear of loneliness will trump true love
You're getting up to be knocked down
She screams
No one understands her
That there is no prince
To carry her home
But my heart is pounding
And my knees are weak
For this broken girl who doesn't notice
When you're down and out, let me pick you up
I'll be waiting just hold out your hand
When the sun sets, and takes you with it
Just know these nights will end
And they end
Don't be so scared
This boy will catch up with you someday
She screams
No one understands her
That there is no prince
To carry her home
But my heart is pounding
And my knees are weak
For this broken girl who doesn't notice
2.Judge And Jury
An artist stares through plane glass windows
Through equally glassy eyes
Somewhere, somehow, along the line
Youthful promise passed him by
He saw the world through a rose colored shine
But the gray crept in and stopped the time
A season came but didn't end
Sank into bones and under skin
Cause it's too hard
To live this life
When no one's listening
And every night
I'll find myself on the fence with continuing
The light fades, music ushers you offstage
The consensus reeks of overplay
And although you'll age
You'll never escape
You wake up to break down
Yet live to fight
Cover your tracks and bleach the (site)
Paint off center, made askew
The underscore must've missed you
Cause it's so hard
To live this life
When no one's listening
And every night
I'll find myself on the fence with continuing
When night falls
And shadows blanket the streets
Your heart starts skipping beats
And when the tick of the clock
Finds it's way to your ears
The sound is deafening
Did I ever stand a chance?
Will I ever say a word?
Cause it's so hard
To live this life
When no one's listening
And every night (Nobody said it'd ever be easy)
I'll find myself torn up but recovering
Will it ever end?
3.With Every Breath
This girl doesn't know what she does to me
A heart-attack in a little package
I'm in too deep
I'm struck once and down for the count
The heart on your sleeve just knocked me out
My friends don't see
That everything about her just
Makes me weak
No
Don't let her go
You've got to fight for love with every breath you hold
My dear this condition's severe as it's liable to be
A train wreck of introspect
You've got me losing sleep
When I said I could do this alone
I guess that statement's now on hold
My friends don't see
That everything about her just
Makes me weak
No
Don't let her go
You've got to fight for love with every breath you hold
No
Don't let her go
Because every road is harder on your own
I've been patient and swallowed defeat
But could you be the key to make this heart beat?
My friends don't see
That everything about her just
Makes me weak
No
Don't let her go
You've got to fight for love with every breath you hold
No
Don't let her go
4.Wake Up
Your mind drifts away
As the record plays
It's sad song
For once too long
And tears slide down your face
Every dream you had just left you
Broken on the floor
Wake up babe
Don't be sleeping in
Cause this is not the end
And you'll find a way
To drag yourself out of bed
But overcast and under whelmed
We'll find you at days end
Drifting through this haze just keeps you
Screaming out your lungs
Wake up babe
Don't be sleeping in
Cause this is not the end
when your gaze drops to the floor
Hear these words and believe
That this is not the end
Don't give up
Don't give up hope
You're not a
You're not alone
Wake up babe
Don't be sleeping in
Cause this is not the end
So when your gaze drops to the floor
Live your life and believe
That this is not the end
5.Forget Me
So leave your heart at the door
Cause you're all I've wanted and more
And I'll turn my back on feeling
This is more than a moment you're stealing
Swept up and caught off guard
Then dashed against the shore
Cause you forgot about me
I gave up
I lost myself to apathy
And you never
Seemed to lose your hold
I guess that my lesson's learned
And you can rest assured
You turn your back and I'm leaving
In a body bag tonight
Bury me next to your town
I'll never leave your side
Cause you forgot about me
I gave up
I lost myself to apathy
And you never
Seemed to lose your hold
I'm so lost without you
You've got a lot of nerve
To show your face in here
Dressed up in full costume
You know the role you're playing
And I'm sick and tired
Of feeling nothing
And all the lies
I've told myself
To keep my heart from beating
My world from needing
I've finally had enough
I gave up
I lost myself to apathy
And you never
Seemed to lose your hold
I gave up
I lost myself to apathy
And you never
Seemed to lose your hold
I'm so lost without you
6.Bring On The Rain
Blank stares lead to blank pages
But nobody reads that much these days
I'm fed up with lying
And I can't go a day without living for a name
We all need a little help to get on our feet again
And we all need a little help but I won't be taking it
So bring on the rain
Cause I'm so sick of everything
I've torn myself up
Worn myself down
Too many times before
I'm still falling apart
(It was never my choice)
And I'm still falling apart
(It was never my choice to let you go)
So keep it simple, keep it safe
And the closer you get the further you are away
These nights will tell you everything
Your idle words have tried to hide away
We all need a little help to get on our feet again
And we all need a little help but I won't be taking it
So bring on the rain
Cause I'm so sick of everything
I've torn myself up
Worn myself down
Too many times before
I'm still falling apart
(It was never my choice)
And I'm still falling apart
(It was never my choice to let you go)
Fall asleep and I hope you know
You'll still be alone when you wake up
When your hearts in full retreat
Cracked and crumbled at your feet
Commit yourself to perjury
Lest they find out you and
You and Me
So bring on the rain
Cause I'm so sick of everything
I've torn myself up
Worn myself down
Too many times before
I'm still falling apart
(It was never my choice)
And I'm still falling apart
(It was never my choice to let you go)
