Isn't It a Shame
04:21
|

Isn't it a shame
We lost ourselves in thought
We went a bit too deep
Without coming up for air
And if all I have to show for these years
Are forgotten dreams and memories of you
And if all we are are fractals of parts
I'll learn to live with a failing heart
And I'll scar their fragile minds
With hope so hard to find
So they'll learn their place in time
Fallen victims to the grind
And we know too much to learn
Of our slavery to the need
We just calmly wait our turn
Until the monster needs to feed
Let it out right now, let it out right now
I'll answer your questions with questions and find my way out
Give it up right now, give it up right now
The witness is speaking in tongues and it's wasting our time
Isn't it a shame
We lost ourselves in thought
We went a bit too deep
Without coming up for air
And if all we are are monsters of men
We'll just cut the ties to our closest friends
And I know with time I'll fail you again
But until then
All we can do, all we can do
Is hope for something better
Hope that something better comes along
All we can do, all we can do
Is hope for something better
Hope that something better comes along
And I'll scar their fragile minds
With hope so hard to find
So they'll learn their place in time
Fallen victims to the grind
And we know too much to learn
Of our slavery to the need
We just calmly wait our turn
Until the monster needs to feed
Let it out right now, let it out right now
I'll answer your questions with questions and find my way out
Give it up right now, give it up right now
The witness is speaking in tongues and it's wasting our time
Let it out right now, let it out right now
I'll answer your questions with questions and find my way out
Give it up right now, give it up right now
The witness is speaking in tongues and it's wasting our time

Humble
05:03
|
|||
I'll line my heart with selflessness
Stuff my pockets to the brim
I'll stockpile my contentment
And humbly recommend that you follow my example
Walk along the path I set
And I'll humbly recommend
That you walk the path I set
I am all you'll ever hope to be
I am all you'll ever see
I'm a ghost of what you're not
And I'll haunt your every thought
When you close your eyes
And I can't wait to understand
And I can't wait to know it all
For so long I've been misled
Now it's time to rest my tired head
Upon your chest
I'll organize my mind in perfect sense
Based on logic that I find
I'll walk along in time with the pulsing of our hearts
And I'll sing out every line
And I'll humbly recommend
That you walk the path I set
I am all you'll ever hope to be
I am all you'll ever see
I'm a ghost of what you're not
And I'll haunt your every thought
When you close your eyes
And I can't wait to understand
And I can't wait to know it all
For so long I've been misled
Now it's time to rest my tired head
Upon your chest
I'm so scared of what comes next
Every blank I'll never fill
There has got to be more than this
I don't want to just exist

Write Myself Out
04:07
|
|||
I write these numbers down
From the code left on a string
Ones, zeros, ones, and threes
That could never be code for anything
Well, I never claimed to be binarily sound
But I could never claim a thing
and wisdom is dead, it's a thing of the past
That dies with every silver strand
We tell ourselves we're not to blame
I believe it all the same
But my fingers, they just keep pointing
Out all the flaws in this machine
It's me
I write myself out
I write myself out
I write myself out
So you'll know
We have no control
Before it ends, we'll never know
I wear these strikes on my arms
They weigh down my sleeves
Oh, I'll wear them till they break or die
We tell ourselves we're not to blame
I believe it all the same
But my fingers, they just keep pointing
Out all the flaws in this machine
It's me
I write myself out
I write myself out
I write myself out
So you'll know
Oh, so you'll know
I apologize with bread and wine
On Sunday morning in the summertime
But I just drop by to leave my money
Because my intentions were wrong, once again

You're Alright
04:25
|
|||
Stand up straight when you're talking to me
Because I'm not a child
And your spine's looking kind of weak
But it's just your style
To cower beneath your words
And your crooked smile
It's disgusting, can't you see
That it's simply vile
You had your chance to redeem yourself
You're just a selfish kid who thinks of no-one else
Now that you're gone you'll go and have a drink
And you'll find your way home on the slickest streets
Now there's cops knocking at your door
Because they got a call
From that old bag on the second floor
Because she heard it all
And your guilt's written in my blood
Sprayed across the walls
In that room, you could call a tomb
But it's no time for jokes, you know
They'll figure it out
They will crack the case
And I'll tell every tale
You're too afraid to face
And in your jail cell there
At the county can
You'll become no-one
And they won't give a damn
Say something
I know you're alright
I was right to say you'd end it all tonight
And I said that you'd be the one to cry
And I was right, and I was right
Say something
I know you're alright
I was right to say you'd end it all tonight
And I said that you'd be the one to cry
And I was right, and I was right
So take a leap from the seventh story
At the bottom, where you lay there in a heap
Of tangled limbs and faded glory
But don't worry, I won't lose a wink of sleep
And as you lay in your bed of concrete
We'll all watch as the color leaves your skin
And as the cops hold back the crowd
The ambulance works hard to take you out
Say something
I know you're alright
I was right to say you'd end it all tonight
And I said that you'd be the one to cry
And I was right, and I was right
Say something
I know you're alright
I was right to say you'd end it all tonight
And I said that you'd be the one to cry
And I was right, and I was right
Say something
I know you're alright
I was right to say you'd end it all tonight
And I said that you'd be the one to cry
And I was right, and I was right

Take the Tunnel
04:39
|
|||
So take the tunnel
After all it's been a couple of years
Need some brand new windshield wipers
For that brand new rush of tears
Take a break for conversation
On the bullet train to anywhere at all
Anywhere but here
So let's get this right
One last time
Tonight is still tonight
One AM would beg to differ
When it says I shouldn't call
Now you're looking for a streetcar
Because you're miles from home
And you've learned your lesson
That it's a blessing that you are never alone
Now you're looking for a street car
Because you feel so alone but you're just gone
So let's get this right
One last time
Tonight is still tonight
One AM would beg to differ
When it says I shouldn't call
Tonight
Nothing is feeling quite right
Because a piece of us all have died
And a piece of us goes with the stretcher
And we all go down in time
We all go down in time
But you go down tonight
You'll remember when the lights get dim
And color escapes your skin
And the air gets too thin, again
You'll remember when the lights get dim
And color escapes your skin
And the air gets too thin, again
You'll remember when the lights get dim
And color escapes your skin
And the air gets too thin, again

Grace
03:33
|
|||
I know what I was
Was the problem dear
Believe me, I see it now
I'd like to say I've grown
I've grown up, but never out of you
I've seen a little more of life
And the girls that I'd compare to you
Would never measure up
They'd just fade into a song I'd write
And I know my jealousy
And my depression got the best of me
And I know you've moved along
You're doing well at your university
And I couldn't be more proud
You're as successful as I knew you'd be
And despite what happens next
You are all that I see life to be
Now all I ask for is a chance
I don't deserve, I offer honesty
And I know all I sing about
Is how hopeless this whole world can be
I was too scared to speak my mind
But you're the beauty in the world to me
And despite what happens next
You are all that I see life to be
This torn skin and broken voice
Try to write you as a melody
I know it's just a song
And it will come out rather pitifully
Because nothing can compare
Like a puddle to the deepest sea
And I know it was years ago
But I think of you incessantly
If I could offer up my voice
To make up for all I put you through
I'd sing louder than my actions
I'd devote my life to sing to you
I'd devote my life to sing to you
I'd devote my life to sing to you
I swear there's spine behind these lines
Just give me time, I'll make it right
If I had my way I'd sing to you
To the moment that my days are through
And I'd devote my life to sing to you
I'd devote my life to sing to you

Just Hope for the Best
04:45
|
|||
Close your eyes
Nod your head
Steady your pulse
And quiet your breath
Because what's said is done
There's no going back
And though my memories will fail me
I'll try to leave you in tact
So don't you hold it against me
I didn't know the consequence
I know it's quite the likely story
All of this pleading ignorance
I know I'm so full of excuses
I wish I could blame it on my age
If only I could find something more convincing
I could be freed from all your blame
With every word
That floats on your breath
Obscene or absurd
I won't get upset
Because what does it mean
Our vision's askew
A flame built of night
And my last thought of you
So please
Just leave it be
This is hard enough
These stones won't stack themselves
And the water's rising up
This dam's about to go
And I'm sure I'll go right along
And I'll sing along
So don't you hold it against me
I didn't mean a single word
I know I'm so full of excuses
But I know none of them will ever work on you
With the constant revising of our history
Patching up flawless memories
I've grown so fond of my remembering
I've grown so fond of who you weren't
So feast your eyes
On works of the past
The colors may run
But the feeling will last
And of all of my fears
A few still stand fast
But of what's left of my years
I'll just hope for the best

We'll Be Alright
04:09

Say something
I know you're alright
I was right to say you'd end it all tonight
And I said that you'd be the one to cry
And I was right, and I was right
Say something
I know I'm not alright
I'm having trouble with the choice to stay alive
They try to tell me that this pain will pass with time
I hope they're right
I hope they're right
Say something
I think I've lost the fight
I guess I don't really expect to last the night
If I do then I guess I'll be just fine
I'll be alright
I'll be alright
So don't you hold it against me
I didn't know the consequence
I know it's quite the likely story
All of this pleading ignorance
I know I'm so full of excuses
I wish I could blame it on my age
If only I could find something more convincing
I could be freed from all your blame
(Tonight
Nothing is feeling quite right
Because a piece of us all have died
And a piece of us goes with the stretcher
And we all go down in time
We all go down in time
But you go down tonight)
I'm so scared of what comes next
(I'll answer your questions with questions and find my way out)
Every blank I'll never fill
(The witness is speaking in tongues and it's wasting our time)
There has got to be more than this
(I'll answer your questions with questions and find my way out)
I don't want to just exist
(The witness is speaking in tongues and it's wasting our time)
I apologize with bread and wine
On Sunday morning in the summertime
But I just drop by to leave my money
Because my intentions were wrong, once again
(I'd devote my life to sing to you)
Say something
I tried with all my might
It was never my intent to throw the fight
I know these broken hands are an awful sight
But I'll be alright
I'll be alright
Say something
Just tell me that you're fine
I've decided that I'd fight to stay alive
I know that your scars look a lot like mine
But we'll be alright
We'll be alright
Yeah, we'll be alright
