Daylight is breaking

She’s a little psychopath
Reel her in or feel her wrath all night
daylight is breaking
She’s a little sociopath
a self absorbed narcassist(ic lust) for life
daylight is breaking
And then you’ll see the world for what it is
And you’ll see the world for what it is
Infinite and endless
And you’ll see the world for what it is
And you’ll see the world for what it is
morning is so sweet and sobering
fresh and new as anything you’ll find
daylight is breaking
your conscience is an empty slate
burdened when you fill your plate with denial
daylight is breaking
And then you’ll see the world for what it is
And you’ll see the world for what it is
Infinite and endless
And you’ll see the world for what it is
And you’ll see the world for what it is

Right as rain
04:30

running, running away
in first person, like I did
shine bright the light
the cold stares are silencing
long lives thru longing eyes
the old world has miles on me
dear things held tight
old songs are haunting me
these eyes are miles
played out for all to see
one night I might just like to live right as the rain
one night i might take flight I’m not running away
one night I might just like to live life right as rain
one night i might take flight am i running away?
one night I might just like to live life right as rain
one night i might take flight I’m not running away
one night i might take flight am i running away?
one night I might just like to live life right as rain
running, running away (x2)
shine bright the light
the cold stares are silencing
long lives thru longing eyes
the old world has miles on me
dear things held tight
old songs are haunting me
these eyes are miles
played out for all to see
one night I might just like to live right as the rain
one night i might take flight I’m not running away
one night I might just like to live life right as rain
one night i might take flight am i running away?
one night I might just like to live right as the rain
one night i might take flight I’m not running away
one night I might just like to live life right as rain
one night i might take flight

Bridges left unburned
04:08
|
|||
|
And you know
there’s a reason for the lies
You have taken all the words
laid them down to die
is that what really hurts
when you fold like a cheap suit
you know the doors are best left open
and bridges left unburned
her confidence is titanium
But it's a weak spot that shakes things up
And you know
things will never be the same
you’ve taken all your words
straight from the mouths of babes
but wisdom shows its age
and it never fades
and we know the doors are best left open
and bridges left unburned
her confidence is titanium
but its a weak spot that shakes things up
is her disregard just delirium
or a bright spark that gives her up

There's nobody else

Ive been watching you
Ive been watching you looking at yourself
Ive been loving you
Ive been loving you and nobody else
there’s nobody else
if i ever seek the love of another
run for cover baby I'm out of my head
ever take the two from together
it had better be the end of this world
Ive been watching you
Ive been watching you looking at yourself
Ive been loving you
Ive been loving you and nobody else
there’s nobody else
if i ever seek the love of another
run for cover baby I'm out of my head
ever take the two from together
it had better be the end of forever

If that's what you need
04:00

sacrifice should mean letting something go
what little did i know
I’ve been walking with a hand to hold
not walking around in life alone
I’ll be hanging my hat on your time
and you can hang yours on mine
I will take you out, give you love
if that’s what you need
I will give my life, lay it down
if it’s what you need
sacrifice should mean letting something go
what little did i know
I’ve been walking with a hand to hold
not walking around in life alone
I’ll be hanging my hat on your time
and you can hang yours on mine
some things come around only once in life
I will take you out, give you love
if that’s what you need
I will give my life, lay it down
if that’s what you need
some things come around only once in life

Like sunlight
02:58
|
|||
|
and she shines like sunlight
she takes on the real light I know
and she warms me all night
the way she glows its beautiful
when her favorite songs playing on the radio
she keeps singing all the words she knows
she shines like sunlight

The less you know
04:57
|
|||
|
the less you know
‘bout the reason for being
the less you care about these things
and I’ve seen a lot of waste of time
and I am myself, I am nobody else
but She got up and left me here
beside myself and I
am only fit for life
and I live
you wont see me against the wall
you wont see me stumble and fall
you wont see me no not at all
cause I’m alive to the way of the winds
the way of the wind
the less you know
the less you know about what’s happening
the less you care about these things
the less you know the more you speak
the less you know the better you sleep
but she got up and left me here
beside myself and I
am only fit for life
and I live
you wont see me against the wall
you wont see me stumble and fall
you wont see me no not at all
cause I’m alive to the way of the winds
the way of the wind
because I go the way of the wind….

Keeping me honest
04:48
|
|||
|
Don't come undone
But I'm not digging your scene
or the life that you're living
It won't come around
To your wayward way of thinking
Despite your misgivings
How do we slow it down
something she said tells me
this is going off the deep end
oh not now, but maybe when
we (fail to) make amends
and shake loose of the pretense
You've got your whole life ahead
It's not what you promise
you’ve got so much to give
its not what you promise
who knows what to say
its just not what you promise
I’m true to my word
and its keeping me honest
and its the only thing at night that keeps me up

Too much
04:43
|
|||
|
its too much
something in the way we worry
in the face of too much
caught up in the mire
loved less than admired
its so far to go
but easy to find our way
around the world
if we only take the time
to look within ourselves
before we step outside
to search for all the hidden things
that only we can hide
like the love
and the drugs
its enough
or is it too much
something about the way we’re sorry
in the face of too much
caught up in the mire
loved less than admired
its so hard to know
but so easy to hide
away from all the prying eyes,
indifference and lies
so loosen all the chains
and free your soul and mind
break the rusty cage
and walk the sands of time

Stolen time
04:34
|
|||
|
what do you want from me
what do you want from me this time
what do you want to be
what do you want to be
what do you want to be this time
what do you want from me
stolen time from my life
how did you get where you are?
I have to ask
how did you get where you are?
what do you want from me
what do you want from me this time
what do you want to see
what do you want to see
what do you want to plead this time
what do you want from me
stolen time from my life
how did you get where you are?
I have to ask
how did you get where you are?

Red with rage
03:04
|
|||
|
I read the news
while holding my breath
i’ve been around the block
ten thousand times myself
standing in blood
we’re breathing it in
the streets haven’t been the same
since who knows when
is it all right? is it all right?
i’ve seen the sirens and lights
blankets and tape
hold the media’s gape
I saw the crews
cleaning the streets
pulling the fragments
from yesterdays news
more than a war of words
written on a page
everything seems to be
red with rage
is it all right? is it all right?
i’ve seen the sirens and lights
blankets and tape
hold the media’s gape
I saw the war of words
right on the page
everything seems to be
red with rage

Back of the bus
04:26
|

|
she likes to sing at the top of her lungs
and that’s what she’ll do
he rides at the back of the bus
and its feels like its something new
she’ll scream at the top of her lungs
cause you know that’s what she likes to do
he’ll ride at the back of the bus
cause he feels that's what he has to do
you can talk a mile a minute if you want
it doesn't seem to change things
you know its undeniable
but somethings got to give
might as well be the changelings
idiots, simpletons, dimwits and bird brains,
imbeciles, dipsticks, dingbats and numbskulls
