Buried
02:51
|
|||
Leave it nameless lying on the floor
Leave it alone
Somethings are better left unsaid
Better never to know
So let me be buried
With the truth under my tongue
If that's what it takes
To save the both of us
I don't deserve you
And you don't deserve this
But here's where I find myself
Unable to say what it is
Oh the truth untold
What a bitter taste
So I find the strength to speak
Only with fingers cross
But who's to say
If it's for luck or lie

Well Cut Dead Grass
05:04
|

Well cut dead grass covers the lawns
Caught by the wind it flies away
It flies away
Two birds on a telephone wire
Startled by a speeding car
It's miles away
It's miles away
Your words come quick you tell me it's been too long
Since I've been around
I've been around
My feet can't move too fast
Some one's ripped the top right off this town
Off this town
I'll speak when I have something to say
And you'll say everything with the look on your face
Everything with the look on your face
Sun on my skin says try again
Cause we all fall along the way
Along the way
Emotions spin and change
I don't ever think I'll understand why I feel this way
Feel this way
I swear I'll never be
Swallowed by this city
Or any other
Any Other
Cause I'll fly away oh glory
I'll fly away
When I die hallelujah by and by
I'll, I'll fly away

Soldier
04:41
|
|||
The seasons change sneaks up on me
And leaves me feeling cold
Time's stuck slipping through my fingers
It moves to fast and too slow
I fight a war
That makes me a soldier
I don't know what it's for
But I'm only getting older
I find myself on the front lines
Of a battle I don't understand
So I just fight in silence and I fall in pain
And think about all the things that got me here this way
Think about all the things
One day, all the pieces will fall into place
And you'll get every code and every clue
It was always you
It was always you
It was always you

The Art Of Forgetting
04:15
|
|||
Questions unanswered
Let's don't ask don't tell baby
Just move on
No need for second chances
Let's let our paths pretend they never crossed
No harm, no foul
Two souls just thrown together
I'd call it chance
And let's just leave it at that
Not worth the trouble
Trying to explain
We both got caught
Cheating at our own game
The act of forgetting
It is an art in fact
And let's just leave it at that
You say that I've changed
But let's admit we never really knew
It's clear that we're not
Meant to be anything more than what we are
It's alright to feel this way
We're both just songs no one will understand
And let's just leave it at that

At Least For Now
03:46
|
|||
I sleep with the lights on
Just in case you wanna find your way to me
Or I want to find my way out
I keep the heat down
So you can sit close to me
Or to give me a reason to leave
I have no doubt
That I'm right where I'm supposed to be
At least for now
I can't stay still to save my life
Or anything else
Can you blame me
Every step you take in
I make sure I have a way out
And I don't know why
If I leave tonight
Will you be by my side
And if I stay
Would you leave anyway

What Chance
05:37
|
|||
I think I feel weird
But I don't know how I'm supposed to feel
You ask what I'm thinking
But I think you know better
Cause I wrote it out
Made less sense on paper
Than it did in my head
And I turn around
And immediately forget
Every word I said
Most people are smart enough to
Keep skeletons where they belong
But I'm scared to death of grave yards
And my closets are too full of shit
There's a war in corner
Between what's there and what I see
It's tiger versus bureau
And they're armed to the teeth
And it makes no sense at all
But you think you understand
But what chance to do you think you have
If I can't

Oh they raised you high
And left me wandering what the hell went down
16710
Oh you're back again
Gravity pulled you to the ground
It's nice to know I'm not the only one
That the rules apply to
We'll believe what we want to believe
Oh so make me see why
This head is so much better than tails
Cause It feels like there's no where left to turn
And we've just put our selves on sale
I'm too young to sell my soul
I'm too old to let this go
Yes I know, better than most
It's a long way home
Reminds me of just how far I've gone
If you're the answer
What's the question
Cause everyone else seems to know
If you're what's missing
Where are you
Is it a place that I can go
Just between you and me
I think I'm doing just fine
I tell you you're one I'd like to meet
And you whisper get in line

Small Voice
04:17
|
|||
It takes more to keep our attention
Than three small words in black and white
So we've turned the truth into a production
Complete with sound and flashing lights
I'm preaching to the converted by manipulation
Cause I can tell you how it feels
When the lights come up and you dry your eyes
And nothing you felt was real
Is it so hard
To trust in something
We didn't see on tv
And is it so hard
To admit
We might be wrong
You're money talks telling me
That something here ain't right
Cause the man on the wall
Didn't have a dime
We've turned a mystery into a 12 step plan
Cause we all want the answers
But we don't have the time
I'm tired of the bombshell screaming
What happened to that still small voice
That came from above
If we quiet down our opinions we could hear it
Whisper love
God forbid that God be silent

Now You Know
03:54
|
|||
You were never a good friend
Thought you'd be better if I let you be more
So I gave you my heart
Crossing the street to the convenience store
It's a long way home
And I'm not sure if that's
Where I want to go
I kept quiet
I made sure you never knew
I was scared out of my mind
I didn't know how to break the news
Love doesn't make you brave
I shudder at the sound of your name
It's a long way home
And I'm not sure if that's
where I want to go
It's been almost a year to the day
Since I told myself the truth
I don't know if I can
Bring myself to tell the same to you
They say the truth will set you free
I hope the same goes for me
It's a long way home
But I'm not sure if that's
Where I want to go
Now you know
I guess now you know
So now you know

Fool
03:19
|
|||
You think you're so enlightened
Cause you write songs in minor keys
You may have everyone fooled
But you can't fool me
You speak so eloquently
About all the ways that you've been done wrong
You may have everything together
But you're still hanging on
To Me
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
Oh Oh oh-e-oh oh
It's in the things you do
It's in the way you act to people you don't know
I know you like to think that you've improved
But you can't bring yourself to let go
Of me
Getting it out
Is not letting it go
Just a friendly message from your demons
We're still here
In case you forgot
I know you like to think you're moving on
But believe me
You're not

Plans
03:44
|
|||
I don't believe in accidents
But I can't tell you how I ended up here
The culmination of all my mistakes
But I've never seen things so clear
This wasn't in the plan
But I'm so glad
Plans change
The dust had no time to settle before I marched in
I think we both took each other by surprise
Cause I wasn't looking and neither were you
I like to get things right the first time
Sometimes out of my control
Is the best place for things to be
|

Any More
06:23
|
|||
I write songs just to scare you
Cause I want all your attention
Are you looking close
Are you looking close
Are you looking close
I like to rock the boat
Just to see how much she'll take
I've thrown hell and high water
But you haven't run away
I don't know if I could
Love you any more
I know the words come much easier for you
They roll right off your tongue
But me I've had the hardest time trying to find
The things to say to tell you what you've done to me
I've grown accustomed to not getting what I want
So I pretend like I could take it or leave it
But it's all an act
Baby don't, baby don't believe it

Pray Tell
03:56
|
|||
I laid my heart on the ground
Ripped it up straight through my mouth
And I don't know if the taste comes out
If the taste comes out
I'm sorry it took me so long to speak
I know that I've been
A liar, a cheat, a thief
Oh pray tell,
Will you always hold it against me
Will you always hold it against me
So many times I tried to tell you
The things that weighed on my mind
Now I hope you understand why
You understand why
I was in love
I was in love
I was in love
but I'm done
