Patience

There's that girl in the street
She's been there for twenty years
I think she's staying there
Maybe for a while
And then there's me in my bed
But I can't sleep coz I'm afraid
I might not make it through
The battles in my head
If we all just agree
What a dull world it would be
Patience could be the end of us
Before we even began
And I don't what to make of us
Am I the only one?
There's that boy, he's twenty now
He looks familiar somehow
But he's just a ghost
He never really lived at all
And then there's me on this stage
My eyes are closed coz I'm afraid
I might not help you to
The outsides of your cage
If we all just agree
What a dull world it would be
Patience could be the end of us…

Unheard

This is the day we'll be taking back the power
If all goes well we'll be kings within the hour
And first against the wall the hypocrites and the cowards
This is not the weight of the world
This is not the color of my words
And it's driving me away
Driving me away unheard
This is the style that's been out of style a long time ago
But it's worth the while to convince myself you're mine, you know
And first we take Manhattan then we take tomorrow
This is not the weight of the world
This is not the color of my words
And it's driving me away
Driving me away unheard
And far from here
I can really be me again
Can't you understand?
This is the day we'll be taking back the power
If all goes well we'll be kings within the hour
And first against the wall the hypocrites and the cowards
This is not the weight of the world
This is not the color of my words
And it's driving me away
Driving me away unheard

Less Than Whole
05:01
|

Everybody's gotta watch the show
Everybody's got the right to know
And speak their minds
And claim that they're not blind
Everybody wants to be a star
Everybody's willing to go far
And sacrifice
The things that won't suffice
And I don't know if I feel that way
I don't think that I could betray
All those feelings I've gathered along
It's just wrong
I'll be here playing my songs
Everybody's gasping for some space
Everybody's looking for a place
To call their own
And sit in their own throne
Everybody wants to be a star
Everybody's willing to go far
And trade their soul
For something less than whole
And I don't know if I feel that way
I don't think that I could betray
All those feelings I've gathered along
It's just wrong
I'll be here playing my songs
I'll be here playing my songs

Ten Thousand Rhymes
05:07
|

You said you're worth
Less than I love you for
But walk out the door
And I'll love you more
You said you're not
Who I think you are
But run from my love
And you won't get far
Nothing you say
Nothing you do
Could make me decide
To give up on you
Ten thousand times
Still that same old sting
And ten thousand rhymes
That just don't mean a thing
Nothing you say
Nothing you do
Could make me decide
To give up on you

Window
06:35
|

All of that precision to be used in every sound
I get bored, I get bored
And all of these decisions to be made in every round
I get lost, I get lost
And the fire that could take me
To the place that used to break me settles down
Kiss me now 'fore you go
Teach me how, I need to know
Slip me out your window
Underneath the surface there's a weakness I have found
And I get scared, I get scared
And getting up is harder when you're laying on the ground
I get lost, I get lost
But the gloom of my condition
Gets a higher defintion when you're gone
Kiss me now 'fore you go
Teach me how, I need to know
Yeah, I need to know
Slip me out your window

Consequences
04:51
|

Washing your face on a warm summer night
Waiting for her to discover
Wasting your breath on excuses in vein
Takes her too long to recover
And it seems
Sadness has never been so sore
And it feels
She's never been so hurt like that before
Wearing your shoes in the midst of a brawl
Missing the silence once hated
Listening to words flying over your head
Anger is well overrated
And it seems
Nothing she's saying's getting through
And it feels
She had been talking forever to you
Don't look back
No second thoughts
You don't always get where you planned to
We were one
But now we're just the same
Well I'm not sure if that's good anymore
And it seems
Sadness has never been so sore
And it feels
She's never been so hurt like that before
Like that before

Wearing You Down
06:14
|

Well, this could be interesting to see
How this life is draining all your energy
But it's up to you
Up to you still
She's the road you're walking on
And the one that sings your song
She's the hope that pulls you through
And the rope that strangles you
And she's wearing you
Wearing you down
In a time of loneliness you're free
But you fake your happiness when you could be
Together with
Together with her again
She's the road you're walking on
And the one that sings your song
She's the hope that pulls you through
And the rope that strangles you
And she's wearing you
Wearing you down
Yeah, she's wearing you
Wearing you down

No Spark
06:12
|
|||
There's some weight on your shoulders
You have felt it before
And the smoke on the water
Starts to spread to the shore
There's no spark in your eyes
You never thought that you could lie
There's nowhere to go
There's no light that shows
There's no river flows
And I, I don't want to know

Moments
03:29
|

Captured in a moment
leaning up against the door
You turn it open
Bellring of the paper boy
Throws one on the floor
You're leaning over the floor
You're leaning over
The paper says that it's okay
After all, the problems aren't here to stay
And you await the day
You could say
I've had enough
I wanna throw it all away
Picture in a magazine
Exaggerated joy
You flip it over
Moments being captured
Like an everlasting toy
That's never broken
A toy that can't be broken
The picture tells you it's okay
After all, the problems have to go away
And you await the day
You could say
I've had it all
And now I'll never want to stay

Lonely
09:37
|
|||
Pay attention boy
You could learn a thing or two
Like how to win a war
Or how to sleep in your own shoe
Lonely, life is passing by
Lonely, not afraid to die
If I'm bound to lose
I might as well go out with style
And if I have to choose
It will always be a smile
Lonely, life is passing by
Lonely, not afraid to die

Over & Over
06:58

There's a way
There's a way that leads me out
Out of the blue
And there's a sound
There's a sound that takes me back
Into the black
Over and over again
It's a picture I cannot explain
And nothing seems right when you're all alone with yourself
Little by little we die
There is more to it than meets the eye
And everything's right when we're finally gone
