Shadows

Stepping out of the shadows that you cast on my life
It’s the words that you gave to me that keep me up at night
I kept quiet for too long, the sound will break down the walls
What does it take to show you that I’ve been here all along?
Your hard, hard head keeps on getting in the way
My mind won’t speak what my heart’s just trying to say and
I can’t stay here, no I don’t think that I should
When I’m just waiting in the dark
I am so relieved by the sun’s warm embrace on what I’d once believed to be a godforsaken place
If I had the time or the means, I would bring this to where you are
I’ve got this need to prove that I can go just as far as you
Your hard, hard head keeps on getting in the way
My mind won’t speak what my heart’s just trying to say and
I can’t stay here, no I don’t think that I should
When I’m just waiting in the dark
Stepping out of the shadows and into the light
It’s something you gave to me that gets me through the night

Help Yourself

She lived around the corner, the girl with flowers in her hair
I’ve been waiting hours and hours to find a mirror in my stare
And now I’ve come to terms that you must be on your way
To a life of better things, crowded streets and a grimy city
Remember when I said I’d do anything for you?
Can you hear what I’m trying to say? I’m calling, I’m calling
If memory is what is dying today, then I’m sorry, so sorry
That I can’t save you from yourself but this might
What does forever mean to someone who never has the time?
And as we slip and fall, we’ll never turn back at all
If I told you that I needed you, then you’d know I’m crazy
And it’s a damn dirty shame that we’ll be remembered this way
Can you hear what I’m trying to say? I’m calling, I’m calling
If memory is what is dying today, then I’m sorry, so sorry
That I can’t save you from yourself but this might help

Get Down, Get Out
04:00
|
|||
|
Keep on, keep on this straight push right to the end
Fools rush in where angels dare to tread
I get down and I get so out
In a place so shallow, I’d much rather drown
Oh maybe baby, I can’t live this way
You’ve gotta help me out
In a world that keeps turning around,
It’s hard to feel right when you’re upside down
When you’re upside down
They’re preaching to the choir but you know I can’t sing anymore
They’ve got their heads so high and away from the floor
I’m imagining fondly a better time and better place
Yet I feel so guilty wishing all my time away
Oh maybe baby, I can’t live this way
Maybe baby it’s getting late
You’ve gotta help me out
Cause in a world that keeps turning around
It’s hard to feel right when you’re upside down
When you’re upside down

Paranoid
04:01
|
|||
|
When it comes right down to it, there’s nothing wrong with me
When I start to think to myself, the whole world’s laughing at me
I can’t be left alone ‘cause I’m afraid of the dark
I think my problem is that I’m paranoid
I’m paranoid

Here
01:06
|
|||
|
The morning sky is fading from black to blue, from me to you
It was a Sunday afternoon on these uneven streets
Where we exchanged small words as we finally did meet
And you may not have seen just what it meant to me
It was the coldest winter that I had in years
I felt fine for the first time in a long time
But I know there’s nowhere to go with this so

Motions
03:25
|

|
Give me something simple, that’s all I need
Give me some way to feel, could you remind me
It’s not the way that I felt that night but it’s the way that I feel right now
I’m starting to realize that there’s something missing here
Lately I’ve been going through motions
And so far I find I’m hardly moving at all
I dream in color but I’m living in some kind of grey
I can’t stop thinking over and over about yesterday
I stare out these windows, I walk down these halls
The only thing I see is that there’s nothing here at all
Lately I’ve been going through motions
Lately I’ve been blocking out the notions
That maybe I’m waiting on your call
So far I find I’m hardly moving at all
I can’t tell if I’m standing still or if the world’s moving too fast
I can’t tell if I’m standing still or if this one will last

Disconnected
02:51
|
|||
|
What a strange reunion, how long has it been
It’s getting harder to breathe here with apathy in the air
No it don’t mean a thing to me, what they said on their TVs
And when we’re all in the same room, I feel so disconnected from you
These seasons flash by faster and faster and I can’t remember a thing
It’s like those off-handed conversations when I barely knew your name
And now I’m hopelessly hoping that we could become something so much more
I wanna watch the snow fall from the outside since we’re hiding here indoors
No it don’t mean a thing to me, what they said on their TVs
And when both in the same room, I feel so disconnected from you
Hello, is there anybody home tonight?
Hello, is there anybody home tonight?
I’m pacing the floor, all night long just waiting on your call
And truthfully I am so alone tonight.
I feel so disconnected from you

When You Were Mine
03:57
|

|
There once was a time I felt so alive
But now I’m in the belly of the beast
That consumed what once was my life
And every day is a shade of grey that carries me away
The patterns in this dull routine are so simple on repeat
Finding beauty in this repetition, like a song waiting to be sung
I need something that can hold me together before I come undone
There are no voices inside my head but something’s calling out to me
They’re like words that I’ve never read though it comes so naturally
I heard your songs about longing for love and I could sing along
We could both be lonely together as our dreams dissolve, dissolve, dissolve
Finding beauty in this repetition like a song waiting to be sung
I need something that can hold me together before I come undone

Wait
03:05
|
|||
|
Wait, before you go
I just wanted to let you know
That I am not afraid but I am concerned
Concerned for you and the rest of your life
So take some time before you turn out that light
Outside the rain is falling on your window
Are you holding on in fear of letting go?
I can’t bear to see you go too late
It’s not for me but for your own sake
Sometimes I think I miss the abuse
But I can never let that become true

Sucker Punch
03:59
|
|||
|
My eyes are heavy as my breath
As I fill my lungs with the smoky air of this house of death
It’s superficial, overrated and antiquated
But I’m a sucker and you’re the punch
Behind closed doors I feel so open and I’ll let you in until we find a light
‘Cause these crowds and rooms don’t mean a thing to me despite what I’ve been led to believe
Look how far we’ve come, trails of dust leading into the sun
And as we burn up like stars, I’ll pretend that we were so much more than we are
I’d much rather be in the safety of a room where I know we’ll both be
So I’ll take to these uneven streets that’ll guide me to a place I’ll call home tonight
And If I seem to fall too hard,
I’m a sucker and you’re the punch

Shine On Me
05:16
|
|||
|
Out from the black of the center of the universe, a room with no space for me
I saw you standing from what seemed so very far away
And I dreamed that one day, we’d collide
But you went right and I went left and everything since then has felt so wrong
But I think it’s time to awake ‘cause I’ve been sleeping for far too long
Without the days the nights get so much darker
And I’m trying, trying to find a light
Far, far away from what I used to know
Solace and security mean nothing on my own
From where I stand, the sky is falling down
But perspectives are misleading. My time, it is fleeting
But I’ll stay to pick up the pieces that I was prepared to leave so far behind
Without the days the nights get so much darker
Oh the moon and the stars will help us find our way
In due time, I will find a light
Trying to find, trying to find, trying to find a light
Turn around, shine on me
