The Past Weighs You Down
03:30
|
|||
Leave the past behind
It’s easy to say
Can’t find peace of mind
Asleep or awake
Maybe there’s still time
To hide it away
Searching for a sign
To start a new day
Years of trying but make no mistake
The past weighs you down
Feel like dying but you can’t escape
The past weighs you down
Pushing to evolve
But pulled right back in
Looking for a solve but
The problem’s within
Years of trying but make no mistake
The past weighs you down
Feel like dying but you can’t escape
The past weighs you down
Hope it’s not too late
Hope the time is now
Hope it’s not too late
Hope the time is now
Years of trying but make no mistake
The past weighs you down
Feel like dying but you can’t escape
The past weighs you down

Vanished On The Way
03:50
|
|||
A promise made to break your name
Then it fades away
A memory of falling on All Saints’ Day
Did you ever say you’re going to stay?
Did you ever say you’ve gone to stay?
If only the words could take the blame
But we can’t seem to find them now
A promise made to turn the tide
Then it all subsides
A memory of Michael before he died
Did you ever say he can’t decide?
Did you ever say he probably lied?
If only the words were satisfied
(But we can’t seem to find them)
Did we feel at all?
A memory that fell along the way
Did we fail it all?
Forgetting the years that passed away
And maybe we could have tried
But maybe that’s only in our minds
And maybe it’s justified
But something feels wrong inside
We vanished on the way
Who were we yesterday?

Nowhere Left to Run
05:03
|
|||
Born in stone
Stairways too steep
To climb up on
Can’t reach the others
Sleep alone
Change of scene
Red house and gravel
Voices scream
Too small to matter
Heard not seen now
Wished they’d go away
Wish comes true
Divided and conquered
What’s to prove?
Can’t even bother
Who are you?
That’s not your father
When it all falls apart
That’s when you’re bound to come undone
Can’t go back to the start
You’re already what you have become
Your regret keeps you company
But squeezes your hands until they’re numb
You won’t truly find yourself
Until you have nowhere left to run
You’ll find yourself
When you have nowhere left to run
On your own
Learning to manage
How you’ve grown
But still act so damaged
Chances blown
Think you’ve changed
Well-planned decisions
Still feel strange
Burning new bridges
Can’t explain
Too much time
Decided to settle
Past your prime
You’re no longer special
In your mind now
Feel like it’s too late
But don’t cave in
Tomorrow’s not written
Just begin
Give up on quitting
Self-forgive
Fight to live
When it all falls apart
That’s when you’re bound to come undone
Can’t go back to the start
You’re already what you have become
Your regret keeps you company
But squeezes your hands until they’re numb
You won’t truly find yourself
Until you have nowhere left to run
You’ll find yourself
When you have nowhere left to run

Perhaps It's Best
03:30
|

Fate
Don’t resist
It’s too late
Stone is set
Die cast
Choice
Don’t insist
Which to make
Just forget
Your own past
Freedom’s complicated
Just go without
Option’s overrated
Just straighten out
Perhaps it’s best if you just stay down
Perhaps it’s best if you just fade out
Perhaps it’s best if you embrace doubt
Perhaps it’s best if you just choose to drown
Wait
Don’t object
It’s all fine
Put your trust
Aside
Doomed
Show respect
For decline
Turn to dust
In time
Freedom’s complicated
Just go without
Option’s overrated
Just straighten out
Perhaps it’s best if you just stay down
Perhaps it’s best if you just fade out
Perhaps it’s best if you embrace doubt
Perhaps it’s best if you just choose to drown
Perhaps it’s best if you don’t come around
Perhaps it’s best if you get dragged down
Perhaps it’s best if you just choose to drown

At the Perfect Moment
03:47
|
|||
Ninety eight degrees inside
This is where I want to be
My heart beats in odd time in search of a memory
There is a weight inside my chest
This is not who I want to be
My head falls to the floor with no one to rescue me
Will anyone find me?
Where do we begin?
You came at the perfect moment
And changed my everything
Amazing to think
You came at the perfect moment
Ninety eight degrees outside
I’m with who I want to be
My heart beats in straight time but poly-rhythmically
There is a warmth inside my chest
You are where I want to be
My hands reach out to find there’s someone who cares for me
I can’t believe you found me
Where do we begin?
You came at the perfect moment
And changed my everything
Amazing to think
You came at the perfect moment

Meadow Lane
05:51
|
|||
I can see it clearly now
Your house on Rolling Meadow Lane
But I can’t remember how
We all knew but no one did anything
We can blame it on our youth
And say that those were simpler times
But we know that’s not the truth
We know how to live with our lies
It’s late, it’s early, you’re not alone
Your sister’s a ghost
Your brother isn’t your own
And your mother’s at the piano
Pretending she can’t hear you
Drunk and drowning and alone
Your mother’s at the piano
As you walk barefoot on glass
Leaving bloody concrete tracks
Your father’s at the door
The sound of ocean through the trees
Your father’s at the door
Charged in the first degree
Your father’s at the door
But he died in 2004

Don't Ever Say
03:58
|

Don’t ever say
You’re caught in the middle
Don’t ever say
You’re in the way
Don’t every say
You’re caught in the middle
Don’t ever say
You’re going to fail
Don’t ever say
You’ll never rate
Don’t ever say
you’re going to fail
Thought you fell
But you flew
Caught in a halo
Thought you fell
But you flew
Caught in a rainbow
Don’t ever say
You’ll never be able
Don’t ever say
There’s just no way
Don’t ever say
You’ll never be able
Don’t ever say
You’re going to settle
Don’t ever say
It’s all too late
Don’t ever say
You’re going to settle

We Are Small
05:48
|

We are not oceans
We are not fields
We are not mountains
Regardless of how good the metaphor feels
We are small and there is comfort in that
We are small and there is strength in that

Fade In and Out

We fade in and out
We fade in and out now

We Go On
04:30
|
|||
You say our time has finally ended
But a plan is recommended
Before we’re gone
And all that’s worthwhile’s been invented
So best our grievance be repented
Before we’re gone
Although it’s only sentimental
We view our time as fundamental
Until we’re gone
We burn ourselves down to attain it
But our best judgment can’t explain it
Until we’re gone
But we go on and on and on
We go on and on and on
We go on
Even though we might regret it
And we go on and on and on
We go on and on and on
We go on
Even though we might regret it
Although we can’t enjoy an afterlife
We’ll chalk it up to oversight
When nothing comes
And when the sky begins to redden
We’ll insist it’s armageddon
But nothing comes
So we go on and on and on
We go on and on and on
We go on
Even though we might regret it
And we go on and on and on
We go on and on and on
We go on
Even though we might regret it
