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

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?

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

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

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 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

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
