Roots grow in dark places
Your friends come with many faces
If truth has no real basis
Then we live a little, we play a little
We catch it if we can or meet it in the middle
All these miles I walk
With no footsteps to leave behind me
Look ahead to what I've got
And that's the way that you can find me
All these miles I walk
With no footsteps to leave behind me
Look ahead to what you've got
And you may find your heart is winding
Down the wrong side of the road
Make haste in something you don't know
Keep left as turns go through your town
Don't stay still, We'll dance until
the next caveman can learn to make a wheel
All these miles I walk
With no footsteps to leave behind me
Look ahead to what I've got
And that's the way that you can find me
All these miles I walk
With no footsteps to leave behind me
Look ahead to what you've got
And there's no way that you would turn around
Don't turn around.
The bigger they are the further they crawl
Barely even bite cause they choke on their talk.
Alice said to the rabbit, "Don't you run"
Alice said to the rabbit, "Grab your gun, have some fun"
And look past what can't be undone
And you'll live a little, you'll bleed a little
You'll learn to love so your hearts not brittle.

Oh, to whom it may concern
Your words are growing old, they've all been said
Try… Try and understand
There's so much in your mind that breaks and bends
Your thoughts are thicker than air
Lighter than all your blank stares
Lighter than all of your cares
So I'm sending back to you that little bird that flew.
Oh, a scene where you have once again
pretended to take in a friend
and use them till the mystery ends, the torchlight dims.
Caged up in a little white box, my thoughts and time
You told me to cry and then threw me away
as if I was some sort of childhood pain, driving you away
And it prides itself to please the world that's gone to hell
I'd prove it to you but I'd only display what it feeds you.
And the clearest hope is that the world will not implode
These people today, they've all gone insane
It's an issue of ignorance.
So I'm sending back to you that little bird that flew.

I'm shy and you're scared
What no one sees
are all those moments we shared
what we believe
and often everything you need it to be.
Anywhere, anytime
It's on your mind
Over over
Again it plays through your head
You get it cause it's good
So promise me you can see
what may be your destiny
I can't find another girl to
imitate what you do for me
Promise me you can see
what may be your destiny
I believe I could say anything
and you would still adore me.
Lick your lips
Now you'll have to wait
and how you feel it to be true
Don't laugh cause this is you
and everything you need it to be.
I don't mind, I'm aware
you need my time.
And you feel it so good when i say it
And you feel it like you know it's real
Promise me you can see
what may be your destiny
I believe I could say anything
and you would still adore me
Promise me you can see
what may be your destiny
I can't find another woman
imitating all you do for me.

We keep in touch, stay the same
Your chips all in but you don't know the game
It's what you want, it's your own pace
Your lips keep on moving with nothing to say.
You're easy come and easy go
Building a stage with nothing to show
Your camouflage is fading
and you don't match the person that I thought I used to know.
You can't live this life if you don't have the fight in you.
So why do you hurry if you got no where to go?
Wake up and your mind's made up for you
Color doesn't hide your lonely heart breaking in two
Just how do you sleep with a kiss on your cheek?
And I don't think I could tell you anything
that you don't tell yourself everyday.
Blending in and never standing outside the line we draw
to underscore our doubt
Chameleon colors are bleeding through
Yellow and green with a slight hint of you.
Your easy come and easy go
Burning a bridge to what you call home
Your camouflage is fading
and you don't match the person that I thought I used to know.
You don't forget it, you don't believe it
cause your eyes won't see what your hands don't feel.
Now and then you feel like a mirage
but your camouflage won't hide your face from me
and everyone you know.
Wake up with your mind made up for you
Color doesn't hide your lonely heart breaking in two
Just how do you sleep with a gun in your cheek?
And I don't think I could tell you anything
that you don't tell yourself everyday of your life.

Drip, drip
Dark clouds up in your sky
Drip, drip
All your tears fall from your eyes
and take the next step
and pass it along
to someone who is lonely
Drip, drip
You might feel sad but if you'd only
Try to believe, we're going places.
My life, I say "I'm not gonna waste it"
Drip, drip
Your rain came through
but your well went dry
Drip, drip
Your blood runs thin
and you don't know why
Look away from me
What makes you think that
you would even know me?
Drip, drip
You might feel sad but if you'd only try
We're not gonna stop, no way
We're going places
My life, I say "I'm not gonna waste it."
Too late to save your lies
Don't want to watch you die inside
Make it better?
Won't make it better when you cry.
The world's on a string
You feel it might sink down
Your life's on a thread
You better not blink now
Looking around for the same face, a new face
Listen for sound, you're in the right place.

Sideways and My Ways
03:25

Everything shows. That's how it goes.
Where do you look to when nobody knows?
Caught in a daze. Wish I could say
"Don't turn my head sideways."
You don't know me, oh no!
But today is a fine day
just to fall away from it all.
Just to say that I found my way
through the haze of my mind.
I'm baiting for replies. Looking for my sign.
Why do I sit when there's mountains to climb?
There's no chance that I won't take
And there's no price that I won't pay
So hitch a ride if you're going my way.
You don't know me, oh no!
But today is a fine day
just to fall away from it all.
Just to say that I found my way
through the haze and the fire of my mind.

Speak and Stand

Not out of sight you're out of mind
When you there you are the vessel for
An evil eye, sharp turn.
Be careful and ignored.
And try to take control of yourself
Cause getting back up can be a fight.
The only thing that holds your ego in
Is knowing you were always right.
And watch it as it comes in waves.
You'll feel it as it makes you sway.
You're attitude is all you got
It tells you what to be and what you're not.
Your heart of gold is getting heavy, it's bringing you down.
I guess its lonely being better than everyone else.
So claim your fate cause it's gonna come and find you out.
You bring it on yourself, no one can help you now.
These self-inflicted tragic lies
Your crown of thorns to thin and help disguise
What's going on inside those lost and helpless eyes.
A precious little pulse of pain
that cries out as it spills in vain.
You're out of sight, not out of time
It's the trust you want that gets you by.
Your heart of gold is getting heavy and it's bringing you down.
It burrows down a dark hole as it sinks to the ground.
So claim your fate cause it's gonna come and find you out.
Take a deep breath as your dark horse falls to the ground.
You have learned to speak. Can you learn to stand?
Your heart of gold is getting heavy, it's bringing you down.
It gets lonely being better than everyone else.
So claim your fate cause it's gonna come and find you out.
You bring it on yourself, no one can help you now.
Can you learn to stand?
No one can help you now.

Barely felt the porcelain rain.
We were set, awaiting our arrival.
Built the world on senseless things
They had the gut to come back and deny it.
One time I thought I'd be all right.
It came down to give and take
They gave up and took me as a mistake.
Time grew on and nothing's changed.
We're still here waiting and waiting.
One time I thought I'd be all right.
As the strings are cut from above you
they wrap your face and hands to mold the world around you.
Don't let them change your mind
Don't let them change your mind
They're never going to see the things that always get you.
(I will not forget you)
In my brain is a gun and the bullet has started
(I will not forget you)
Taking shape around your face, pushing patterns in its place
(I will not forget you)
Moving on, moving on from the gun to your tongue
(I will not forget you)
You're not here anymore. Moving on. Moving on.
One time I thought I'd be all right.

Back and forth the mother's arms rock her child to sleep,
Moving and breathing the same.
The moment's come, the worried mom thinks of what he'll be
Like measuring rain clouds with her feet.
Slowly growing, constant pulling.
A tender kiss to touch the edge of what you're doing.
Boy, are you strong enough...
For all those imperfections that you love?
Capable and proud, stands out in a crowd
Open minded, fortune finder with his head in the clouds.
Lately I've been spread about like a puzzle formed by forceful mouths,
Illusions I've been led to believe.
A weary hand through rain-soaked-sand, the image lost in washing plans,
To fruition, on and on I will go.
Who's that walking by your side?
Is it poison in your pocket or angels in disguise?
I'm lost at sea, move your rhythms elsewhere please!
You're gonna get the same!

Encounter

Here is all we know and what we see is
we just need to find a home,
One that's far away and even though
when we try to run it closes in
to tell us we're insane.
I can't believe in you
It's easy now and up to me
So breath. In a cold, hard stare
We'll lead you there or die with us inside.
March down avenues until your feet are gone.
In time your thoughtless moments
build into years you leave behind.
For the few we call much enough a friend
to take along,
I can't believe it's true
There's fewer now than were before.
So breath. You've got to know yourself.
It's in your blood this time.
(We won't walk in circles)
Cut these ropes I need some room to breathe
(and won't buy these riddles)
Trust yourself and not just what you see
(You will let your mind flow)
The time has come for you to learn to grow
(When you see your body go)
Take your body where it wants to go.
Breathe. In a cold, hard stare
we'll lead you there or die.

Just A Day

All those candy-coated glass pieces
that you wanted to dissolve just like little gumdrops.
In your throat they feel like cellophane
Doctors say "Block out the pain inside
Your bleeding heart can die some other day."
Gotta be fine-tuned. Gotta be within the reach
of someone's calling just to hear your name drop.
Be wise, don't pace your steps on easy tries
or what you'll get is less than what you paid them for.
The world I saw got lost inside of you
And unlike me I know you don't see
days going by as stars burn through the sky.
Every now and then I stop and wonder
why I ever need to learn to pray
Cause I'm never gonna live for more than just a day.
Think fast, it's all unwrapping at the sides
and barely acting to disguise all your scars and headaches.
Turn the page to chapter two, go easy on the deja vu.
What makes you think it's worth another try?
What to do about now?
All she left behind is what you gave to her.
I think I heard your heart stop.
Be wise and turn the page on dirty lies
to break your cage in two
I guess that's what you came here for.
The world I saw got lost inside of you
And unlike me I know you don't see
days going by as stars burn through the sky.
Every now and then I stop and wonder
why I don't feel what broke through my shame.
And never doubted what I ever thought I had to say.
Before I die let me live for more that just a day.
Careful now and watch your step
Devil's down the hall and to left of mine.
If you're so smart then who spelled out your name?
And wrote us down before we ever hit the page?
And never doubted what we ever thought we had to say?
Before we die let us live for more than just a day.

Show me what you got, all your guns at once
I'll show you how to change your tune
Live it up with your bad vibrations
Everything it's got, it took from you
Who cares
Well, lazy tongue it's the heart that needs you
It works and works to prove esteem
Open up and let it feed you
The more you take in the less you need
Who cares
Just think of what you appreciate
Just think of what you appreciate
Just think…
I'm an entertainer the same as you
I'm an entertainer the same as you
Give it up with your bad vibrations
I am entertained by the thought of you
If war is what you want from me
I'm not afraid to cause a scene for you
I'm overwhelmed. . . I just can't sit here
A sense of a direction rolls right through you
In line... In line
I'll say it once, please listen close to what's inside of your mind
All Lies
Hello again, it's nice to see you here on such short notice
Well tell us your name
and pass it around until
you got what you owe us.
Well hello again, I hear you need some fun
and who could blame you.
You get what you see and baby believe
we got to end what pangs you.
Nice to meet you.
I think we knew that we know you.
And now you've finally found that light you're looking for
And though it's more than healthy, well state your name
It's nice to meet you.
And you say "Nice to meet you, too."
