Break Free...
01:10
|
|
||
|
See me as you want to, just don’t expect too much
Touch me to ease the tension; it’s never good enough
Storming out into another rainy night
Of fighting feelings, stealing tears to push through to us
Kiss me in the downpour
Hold me in your arms
Will you still love me when the stars break free
From the clouds that surround our hearts?

Hide & Seek Me
04:21
|
|||
|
The taste of rum and cigarettes
Lingers dead upon your lips
Smoke rings blown with such precision
My vision is clouded, my head feels so crowded
You’re moving closer, the lines begin to blue
Stay, stay with me
Play this game of hide and seek
I’ll hide beneathe the floorboards
Of this creaky old house
And you will seek me out
Seek me out
White dust against your tanned skin
Tingles from the touch of my fingers
And the magical arises from the mundane
Insane with lust, rely on trust
You’re moving closer, the lines begin to redden
Stay, stay with me
Play this game of hide and seek
I’ll hide beneathe the floorboards
Of this creaky old house
And you will seek me out
Seek me out
You find me in the basement
Face up, arms out, standin’ tall
And like kites, we jump we fly together
But what happens we fall?
What happens when we fall? When we fall?
Stay, stay with me
Play this game of hide and seek
I’ll hide beneathe the floorboards
Of this creaky old house
And you will seek me out
Seek me out
Seek me

Lost & Found
05:31
|
|||
|
Darlin’ please, just stay in bed
For these last few hours
Before these thoughts in my head
Power me down
I’m finding it hard
To make up my mind about you
Looking to signs and stars
Eluding me now
There’s no need to rush these feelings
But no need to take it
Slow losing all control
With you here in the cold
Holding me in midnight air
Scared to let go
I’m lost to you now
But I don’t want to be found
Thoughtless words oppose my
Wordless thought
Forgotten promises suspended
By hearts tied up in knots
There’s no need to rush these feelings
But no need to take it
Slow losing all control
With you here in the cold
Holding me in midnight air
Scared to let go
I’m lost to you now
But I don’t want to be found
Confused minds find unused time
A new day binds our time
We remain entwined
Losing all control
With you here in the cold
Holding me in midnight air
Scared to let go
I’m lost to you now
But I don’t want to be found
Darlin’ please, come back to bed
For these last few hours

Pieces of My Heart
03:14
|
|||
|
As morning breaks, so does our time
We shatter the mold that we’ve designed
The remains left for none to find
As shadows cover what’s left behind
You’ve stolen the pieces of my heart
Feel the movement, feel the breaks
Feel all of our past mistakes
You’ve stolen the pieces of my heart
The stars above were just a disguise
To hide the truth of the cracks in the sky
“It’s just like our love,” we both realized
As tears tore their way out of closed eyes
You’ve stolen the pieces of my heart
Feel the movement, feel the breaks
Feel all of our past mistakes
You’ve stolen the pieces of my heart
And as we still touch, our clothes are ripping
My heart is slipping out of your pockets
We collide, collide
Do you still feel what I feel inside?
Can you still feel it?
You’ve stolen the pieces of my heart
Feel the movement, feel the breaks
Feel all of our past mistakes
You’ve stolen the pieces of my…
You’ve stolen the pieces of my heart
Feel the space where it used to be
Feel whatever is left of me
You’ve stolen the pieces of my heart

Talk Dirty
03:15
|
|||
|
You liked it hard, rough, and sick
Took everything you wanted from me
The shit you said filled my head with fantasy
The taste of you still stuck on my lips
You treated me so wrong, wrong, wrong
I’m movin’ on
Try talking dirty to me now
Wash your mouth; swallow your words
Or spit it out and feel how it hurts
Try talking dirty to me now
Used to love your big ego
Stroked it just to fill the void
Now I need a man, not a dog or a little boy
Yet somehow around you I can’t say no, no, no
I just need you gone, gone, gone
I’m movin’ on
Try talking dirty to me now
Wash your mouth; swallow your words
Or spit it out and feel how it hurts
Try talking dirty to me now
Sweet nothings never left your lips
Instead replaced with nasty kisses
But for a while I could not resist
Nothin’ sweet with you exists
It all turns into bitterness
Try talking dirty to me now
Wash your mouth; swallow your words
Or spit it out and feel how it hurts
Try talking dirty to me
Try talking dirty to me now

Release Me
05:13
|
|||
|
Chapped lips
Surrender to your overbearing chin
Covered in its army of fur
Stirring my mixed emotions
Creating waves, creating oceans
Time and time again
I can see your smile, hear the near silent creak in your bed
I do what I can
With you holding my dreams and my face in your hands
Release me from your hold
Teach me to be empty, to be cold
Let go to let me go, let me go
Release me, but you won’t, you won’t, you won’t
Days go by, maybe a week or three
Of me hearing nothing, seeing no one
Then you come running back
And I always break, always crack
Time and time again
I can taste you skin, feel the warmth of your breath on my neck
I do what I can
With you holding my dreams and my face in your hands
Release me from your hold
Teach me to be empty, to be cold
Let go to let me go, let me go
Release me, but you won’t, you won’t
I’ve got nothing left to offer
Not that I’d offer anymore
We’ve been through it all before
Release me from your hold
Teach me to be empty, to be cold
Let go, please let me go
Release me, but you won’t, you won’t, you won’t

Icarus
03:50
|
|||
|
Flying alone on this journey
You can’t be my wings, Can’t be my wings
Not anymore, I’m almost a man anyway
Waiting to grow fast, grow too fast
Icarus, oh Icarus, they say, “don’t fly so far from us,
Or we will have to catch the bus to get you back to us”
But I want to soar, to be free, to see the sun, rivers, trees
The clouds, the moon, and feel the breeze, to float with ease
Flying alone on this journey
You can’t be my wings, Can’t be my wings
Not everytime I drift off by myself
I’ll be just fine, or just be fine
Don’t fly too close to the sun
Icarus, oh Icarus, they say don’t fly so far from us
It seems I’m flying too high up when they scream, “Icarus!”
I feel the sting of melted wax and unglued feathers on my back
“They were right,” I think, then laugh, as the wind caresses my open back
The wind caresses my open back
Icarus, oh Icarus they said, “don’t fly so far from us,
Or we will have to catch the bus to get you back to us”
But the water’s cool upon my knees, it seems like it has welcomed me
I’ve seen the sun, the rivers, trees, and felt the breeze
Now I’ll float with ease
Flying alone on this journey
You can’t be my wings

The Soldier's Dance
03:12
|
|||
|
Soldiers are stomping around inside my head
Feeling like I am dead
Knocks on the door, I’ll pretend like no one’s home
I want to be left alone
Ticking and tocking, the clocks are facing me
Yelling it is near three
But I won’t move, soldiers dancing in my mind
They can’t even keep time
Quick step, fox trot, misstep, I’m gone
Drift away, don’t let them take control
Hold on, hold on
This too shall pass, too shall
Hold on, hold on
This too shall pass
Wars in my head, fighting, freeing up my dreams
But nothing is as it seems
Their dance marches on, I can’t keep my thoughts the same
Can’t even say my name
Waltzing, hip hop, I wish they’d stop
Drift away, don’t let them take control
Hold on, hold on
This too shall pass, too shall
Hold on, hold on
This too shall pass
They have stopped dancing around inside my brain
But everything still feels the same
When they were there, I forgot I was alone
I wish they would come home
Soldiers dance on, soldiers they’re gone

Hella Helicopters
02:59

Okay it’s the weekend, when all the freaks enter
Into Friday night, starting fights until the mornin’ light
It’s so right, it ain’t time for thinkin’
It’s time to sink into the dance floor, glance at the door to see who’s in store
Before the entryway, one, two, three, foreplay
Your day, my day
Don’t try to hold my hand, boy
You know where I stand, be a man, what’s the plan, boy?
Lookin’ like you’re standin’ in quicksand, boy
Can I help you understand, boy?
That sex ain’t love, it’s tests and drugs, the next step up just messy stuff
Caress me up and down, I think I found the one for now
Until I’m bored, but that’s what the next one’s for
Hella helicopters takin’ flight
I’ma let you do your thing tonight
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
Hella helicopters take us there
If we don’t fight it we’ll go anywhere
But to where? To where? To where? Do we care?
Yeah we’re soarin’ it, floorin’ it, to your apartment a compartment of
Departmental central education in relations, temptations, and relaxations
If you use me, use me right, bruise and fight me all night
Free me like the breeze in the trees viewed from the blue sky
The fly with my, don’t be shy with me, take the lead
Make me see your ecstasy, take the rest of me it’s not the best of me, shit
It’s already nine in the mornin’? I’m torn, should I leave before I’m stuck talkin’?
Walk of shame or walk of fame? Hmm no wait, it’s the walk of game
Plain and simple, write it down, here’s a pencil
Stencil that into your brain
Hella helicopters takin’ flight
I’ma let you do your thing tonight
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
Hella helicopters take us there
If we don’t fight it we’ll go anywhere
But to where? To where? To where? Do we care?

Ready-to-Wear Girl
02:44
|
|||
|
The brazen side of me has suffered a lobotomy and now settled down
So rip me, toss me, turn me, stitch me up, and then stitch me down
Did you get what you bargained for?
Or did you want me? Cause I am just your
Ready-to-wear girl
Try not to care girl
Life is unfair when I’m waitin on your
Shelf all by myself
Sittin’ here, waitin’ for you
Waitin’ for you
I’m breathe your music, live your movies, go exploring with you
As long as I am by your side, babe, I don’t care what we do
But every time you walk through that door
You push me aside on the floor, cause I’m still just your
Ready-to-wear girl
Try not to care girl
Life is unfair when I’m waitin on your
Shelf, in my own hell
Sittin’ here, waitin’ for you
Waitin’ for you
I will hang on your hook
But I won’t wait for you forever
I can always fit myself
To someone better, cause I’m
A ready-to-wear girl
Try not to care girl
Life could be fair, but I’m still waitin’ for you
Sittin’ here waitin’

Falling Is What I Do
04:22
|

Look at me, what do you see? I feel so different now.
Tell me this, do you feel my kiss? The words fall out my mouth.
‘Cause I can’t feel it anymore. I can’t feel anything at all.
You say all the wrong things at the wrong times, but I continue to fall.
For you, falling’s what i do.
Hold me tight, do we feel right? My mind is hazy.
Listen near, what do you hear? I feel I’m going crazy.
‘Cause I can only hear the sounds of the wind rushing by.
And I don’t what I should do, ‘cause I started up so high.
It’s true, falling’s what I do.
For you. Yeah, falling’s what I do.
I don’t know if I can do it any longer.
They say that it will make me stronger.
But all I can think of is the fear of falling faster.
Hitting the ground so hard would be a disaster.
But I’m still falling, falling for you.
For you. Falling’s what I do.
Falling’s what I do.

Someday
05:32
|
|||
|
Do you really know what it's like to lose control?
Can you really say that I will never feel this way again?
I feel like I'm drowning on my own boat,
I cannot swim, cannot stay afloat.
I cannot breathe, I cannot see,
The water's crashing over me
And I am here, paralyzed by my own fear, here alone.
And no one hears my calls for home.
But someday, someday
I'll be home again. home again.
Oh someday, someday,
I'll be home again, again.
I always get home.
It is really hard to find the cure when I don’t know just what I’m looking for
Thinking straight runs right off track, I’m swerving towards a new attack
I feel like I’m choking on my own words
I cannot speak, cannot get through one verse
I silently scream, is this a dream
or a nightmare I’m stuck between?
And I am here, paralyzed by my own fear, here alone.
And no one hears my calls for home.
But someday, someday
I'll be home again. home again.
Oh someday, someday,
I'll be home again, again.
I always get home.
[Bridge: Home again (vocal loop)
I want to go home, I’ve got to go home]
But someday, someday
I'll be home again. home again.
Oh someday, someday,
I'll be home again, again.
I always get home.

The Missing Piece
04:33
|
|||
|
My bones are shifting, or so they say
The clock is ticking away; I know I can’t beat time
My soul is lifting but my heart is fading fast
It won’t last but for now I’m feeling fine
Aching and breaking and waking from midnight sleep
I keep your heart in a little box next to mine
Taking apart the pieces on the floor but there’s one I can’t find
The one missing piece from this puzzle
The struggle of losing you
And soon I’ll be lost too
But for now I just long for the moon
You were the best thing, and I’ll see you soon
My mind is straying; it’s so hard to remember
The tender words you last spoke to me
My body’s decaying but my spirit stays high
Flying though the pictures and the memories
Running in circles, chasing my own tail
My mind fails again but I feel free
The sun dances on the window’s ledge and through its rays, it is you I see
The one missing piece from my puzzle
The struggle of losing you
And soon I’ll be lost too
But for now I just long for the moon
You were the best thing, and I’ll see you soon
And I’m still sitting here, piecing everything together
Covered by your sweater, staring at the empty space

See me as you want to, just don’t expect too much
Touch me to ease the tension; it’s never good enough
Storming out into another rainy night
Of fighting feelings, stealing tears to push through to us
Kiss me in the downpour
Hold me in your arms
Will you still love me when the stars break free
From the clouds that surround our hearts?
I can’t even remember how this argument began
Scanning my mixed-up memories, was it me again?
Or was it you trying to fix me when I’m not quite broken yet?
Kiss me in the downpour
Hold me in your arms
Will you still love me when the stars break free
From the clouds that surround our hearts?
Can we forget the painful things we’ve said?
Kiss me in the downpour
Can you hold me? Just hold on
Kiss me in the downpour
Hold me in your arms
Will you still love me when the stars break free
From the clouds that surround our hearts?
Break free from the clouds
Break free from the clouds
Break free from the clouds
Break free from the clouds
