Bookends Fall
02:03
|
|||
In the quiet places
On the highest shelf
Where words transcend
You see yourself
To tall to grasp
Your story is wide
All of you is yearning
To step inside
Beginnings are ending
And endings begin
Between each cover you find
New meaning within
Fighting to reach
I give this my all
I'll not be contained
These bookends must fall
These bookends must fall

Perfect all the Time
04:48
|
|||
I'm not enough for everyone
Haven't got enough time
Not everything I want to be
But I pretend like I'm doin' just fine
I struggle for self control
Not as thin as I'd like
But this world goes round, sun up to black
But Perfectionism doesn't work like that
And I can't be perfect
All the time
A little more flawed
A little less blind
But I bend, how I break
To fit the mold
That I somehow have
Cemented In my mind
I wanna be free
What more can I be?
I’m torturing- me
Narrowed straight I walk this path
Follow script and play my part
Perfected lines unforgotten dreams
Never knowing the end or start
How I struggle for my own soul
Not as strong as I'd like
But this war goes on in full attack
And "Perfect" is my hell and back
And I can't be perfect
All the time
A little more flawed
A little less blind
But I bend, how I break
To fit the mold
That I somehow have
Cemented In my mind
I wanna be free
What more can I be?
Who am I torturing?
Oh
And I can’t be perfect don't you see
Why can't you let me be me
I’m not your hopes, I’m not your dreams
All the pressure, All the pain
All these voices placing blame
They all start to sound the same
But cant you see
That it’s killing me
I can't be perfect
All the time
A little more flawed
A little less blind
But I bend, how I break
To fit the mold
That I somehow have
Cemented In my mind
I wanna be free
Who else can I be?
But simply me
But simply me

I Try
04:17
|
|||
I wake up in this nightmare
And I see you standin' there
And I wonder how to get you back
I try to tell you how I feel
but it's never quite enough
Starting to think I'll never be just what you want
And I try to get you
Get you to try to love
And I try to want you
To want you back enough
For you to even notice
This never felt so wrong
I've never been this hopeless
And never been this strong
But I try I try I try
Whoa I try I try I try
So I leave this, try to forget this
I have to close my eyes to see
But I can't forget what we were
As I'm watching her dreams come true
I just exist in black and white
Is this someone else's life that I endure
And I try to get you
Get you to try to love
And I try to want you
To want you back enough
For you to even notice
This never felt so wrong
I've never been this hopeless
And never been this strong
But I try I try I try
Whoa I try I try I try
But I try I try I try
But everything I see is black and white

Kaleidoscope
04:28
|
|||
As I lay awake
I feel our heart break
But you see through me
Right through my melody
Can't get you to feel me
Can't get you to hear me
As I lay awake
I feel my heart race
Recollect the face
I quietly erase
Can't get you to feel me
Can't get you to hear me
Whoah, in the name of blind we trust
Whoah, through this veil of shame and lust
Whoah, with every turn we could combust
Whoah, in this kaleidoscope of us
As I lay awake
It's all I can take
Wishing that I knew
Any part of you
Can't get you to feel me
Can't get you to hear me
Can't get you to feel me
Can't get you to hear me
Can't get you to feel me
Can't get you to hear me
Can't get you to feel me
Can't get you to hear me
Can't get you to feel me
Can't get you to hear me
Yeah
Whoah in the name of blind we trust
Whoah through a veil of shame and lust
Whoah with every turn we could combust
Whoah in this kaleidoscope of us
Can't get you to feel me
Can't get you to hear me

This Song
03:36
|
|||
You think this song is about you
But I know better than that
You're gonna have to try harder
You'll have to do much better than that
Cause I don't care what you're doin'
Don't know where you been
And you don't even know who I am
And I don't care what you say
Don't need it anyway
But I know you think that I do
You've got your song
You've got your song
But you got it wrong
You think this song is about me
And everything that we had
But you don't know the damage that I've seen
It's erasing all of your bad
And I don't care what you're doin'
And I don't know where you've been
And you don't even know who I am
And I don't care what you say
Don't need it anyway
But I know you think that I do
You've got your song
You've got your song
You've got your song
You've got your song
You've got your song
You've got your song
You've got your song
You've got your song
But you got it wrong
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Time has a way of getting all away from us
But it has been good for me now I am all grown up
And do o you believe it now that we have grown apart
Cause I'm not that little girl that time you broke her heart
But you still think this song is about you
But I know better than that

Go Home
04:52
|
|||
Go home and tell him everything
The Nightmare truth
Dont leave out anything
One night in a heated dream
Come the morning light
The end of everything
Promised lies
and broken eyes
Don't make me wake
Our murdered love
in lust stained sheets
I just can't face
I cannot speak
Please just let me sleep
Please just let me sleep tonight
Oh please just let me sleep
Go home, and tell him anything
With trusted words
He's Unsuspecting
One night in your arms, your bed
But When I leave
A woman walking dead
Promised lies
and broken eyes
Don't make me wake
Don't kiss me softly
And call my name
Safe in dreamland
Your heart can't break
I cannot sleep
Please just let me sleep
Please just let me sleep tonight
Oh please just let me sleep tonight
Go home and tell him everything
Silent drive alone in this seattle rain

Your Life
04:47
|
|||
Wondering how you're feeling right now
And no one knows
Wondering where you're going to be
And only you will see
This life has shown you no regrets
Though you sit all alone you cry
And even though we tried, we never gave to you
All you needed and now we cry
For your life, for your life
Wondering if you've stayed around
To see our faces
Wondering how this world can go on
Without your face in it
This life has shown you no regret
Though you sit all alone you cry
And even though we tried, we never gave to you
All you needed and now we cry
For your life, for your life
This life has shown you no regrets
Though you sit all alone you cry
And even though we tried, we never gave to you
All you needed and now we cry
For your life, for your life
We're falling apart, we're falling apart, we're falling apart at the scene
We're falling apart, we're falling apart, we're falling apart at the scene
We're falling apart, we're falling apart, we're falling apart at the scene
We're falling apart, we're falling apart, we're falling apart at the scene

One Step Away
04:27
|
|||
One step away from the past, from the black
One step away from it all
One step away from the calling me back
In every dream I recall
When I fall down
When I run, run to you
When I give all up
And let all out
All these casings I undue
When I fall down
I'll get back up
As long as you are with a beating heart
Whoah, whoah
One step away from the love, from the the bleeding
One step away from change
One step away from the ones who never knew me
One step away or stay the same
When I fall down
And I run, run to you
When I give all up
And let all out
All these casings I undue
When I fall down
I'll get back up
As long as you are with a bleeding heart
Whoah, whoah
Bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
When I fall down
I'll get back up
As long as you are with a beating heart
When I fall down
I'll get back up
As long as you are with a beating heart
Whoah, whoah

Let Me Go
04:12
|
|||
How come you can't just let me go
Isn't it been long enough
I changed my mind
But you try to play me like I'm still blind
Just let me go
Just let me go
What are you holding on for
There's nothing left for you
To do here anymore
How come you try although I blocked it
Wouldn't it be nice to live a day without it
You can't make someone love again
I can't fake or even try to pretend
Just let me go
Just let me go
What are you holding on for
There's nothing left for you
To do here anymore
And I don't remember the way
That you'd hold me
And make to mistake that I'd try
At all
And I won't just sit around and let you
Waste another minute of my precious time
Reminding me what I had to lie
for
So just let me go
Just let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go

Lost at Sea
03:37
|
|||
Gone off the deep end into you
As you shed the salt from my wounds
Remove it all with just one touch
Messages you send hold so much
I can see your eyes
Feel them studying
And I can almost see
What you see in me
Swimming through the blue
They're holding onto you
We could almost be
Lost at sea
Feel the current sway beneath the waves
Breaking down the code with every gaze
Don't have to say them but you do
Perfect words for moments come true
I can see your eyes
Feel them studying
And I can almost see
What you see in me
Swimming through the blue
They're holding onto you
We could almost be
Lost at sea
Our location no one knows
So tread and swirl around
Don't look up, come up for air
Sink with me to the ground
(beneath the waves, beneath the waves)
Where I can see your eyes
Feel them studying
And I can almost see
What you see in me
Swimming through the blue
They're holding onto you
We could almost be
Lost at sea
We could almost be drowned at sea
(beneath the waves, beneath the waves)

Goodbye
04:47
|
|||
Goodbye
I couldn't make you love me
So goodbye
You could have should have held me
But you lied
To reach you still as family
Well I tried
I tried
However silence kills
Even open hearted wills
I wanted it to be real
But deaf ears fall to my appeals
So goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
It didn't have to be this way
Oh but why
These questions have no part to play
Yet inside
My heart was breaking day by day
Now it died
It died
To proud to make the choice
Using absence over voice
And your manipulating force
WelI I will take that nevermore
This is goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
We'll walk away forever and
I'll cry
A little while but tears they tend
To dry
I'll go on without you and I'll be
Just fine
This is goodbye
