Hiding Home
03:56
|
|

The curtains rise and who they were is gone
They recite their lines and the pressures on
A joke on which her life and his now depend
A story of love, a comedy of errors
The crowd is vicious and smells blood in the air
They sense a weakness and they write to kill
Too soon, far too soon, goes another crew
Sick with the bends and they never had a flare
Whatever he touched seemed to turn into dust
Rain came down and turned metal into rust
That's why he's hiding home, hiding home
He's hiding home while the overture goes
A graveyard of ships, all with torn off masts
They weren't the first and they won't be the last
But for now, he's bailing out and buying a property
In a city too far for them to notice or care for him
Whatever he touched seemed to turn into dust
Rain came down and turned metal into rust
That's why he's hiding home, hiding home
He's hiding home while the overture goes
And now he's here, right in front of you
He's on a stage somewhere and you're on it too
What will you say to him, as he boards your ship
And the critics' pens, they come down on you

Wading

Dipped my toe in, got a mouthful
Found escape through means unlawful
A flame for night
But one for morning wastes air while slowly dying
Since the march a masquerade
Kept the mask to hide my face
Maybe it was two before then
I realized what I'd gotten in
Wading in water, while my heads on fire
Trying to sleep, but I'm not even tired
Wading in water, while my heads on fire
Trying to sleep, but I'm not even tired
How much longer, days go by
Restless where's my lullaby
Up till dawn in some far place
Caught up in my one-man race
Wading in water, while my heads on fire
Trying to sleep, but I'm not even tired
Wading in water, while my heads on fire
Trying to sleep, but I'm not even tired
Wading
Sinking
Drinking
Drowning
Wading

When we went out in the snow
It seemed just like a movie scene
Hadn't felt that way before
We were a sight to be seen
But from then on, it was rough
So unstable yet unreal
Oh we were so on and off
It should've just been snuffed
Just thinking 'bout how you feel
Elicits emotions I can't deal
But I wanna keep this real
Sorry for all the hurt I put you through
It's what I never meant to do
There's a feeling of guilt that haunts me
It won't leave me be
Sorry for all the hurt I put you through
It's what I never meant to do
There's a feeling of guilt that haunts me
It won't leave me be
You're the song in my head that I can't rewrite
It keeps me up all through the night
The song that I can't rewrite
Just thinking 'bout how you feel
Elicits emotions I can't deal
But I wanna keep this real
Sorry for all the hurt I put you through
It's what I never meant to do
There's a feeling of guilt that haunts me
It won't leave me be
You're the song in my head that I can't rewrite
It keeps me up all through the night
The song that I can't rewrite

Number 4
02:52

Spanish coast to city bay
With water cool to touch
Looking away from all the lights
The tide hits you in a rush
Friendly faces in the view
Silhouettes of ships behind
Pincher crabs that seem so new
A peace that's so divine
On the coast, an elephant watches over you
In the streets, a mix of people dressed in shades of blue
Open air two floors up
Even in December too
Sit up top, fill up your cup
Look down at the world you knew
On the coast, an elephant watches over you
In the streets, a mix of people dressed in shades of blue
Walk up to that number four and wait right at the door
Who lives there now, you wonder, you can't know for sure
Feel the beating of the heat
Look into the past above
From behind the tin and wood
If you'll see it's eight before
Walk up to that number four and wait right at the door
Who lives there now, you wonder, you can't know for sure

And Love Is
03:11
|
|

She was the toy that people always fought over
Scratched and torn from those who put her back on the shelf
High above me, I wanted just to touch
Then she reached out and gave me so much
She was the one who set me out in a new light
With her heart so kind and perfectly patient
She would hold me while the sun did rise
And then in unison, we both shared sighs
And love is her
Healing me with her hands, holding mine
And love is us
Laying here in our own sense of time
And love is her
Loving me in spite of what's been stuck in time
I can't help but to hold your face and ask you to be mine
And love is her
Healing me with her hands, holding mine
And love is us
Laying here in our own sense of time
And love is her
Loving me in spite of what's been stuck in time
I can't help but to hold your face and ask you to be mine

Not Quite Sure
02:51
|
|

The sun is out and the streets are warm
The ice, it melts away
I go into the corner store
And try to find a silver plate
The window's up and the sheets are made
I wonder whose house I'm in
Where there was a door there's suddenly a valley
And I guess I'll go and venture in
I'm not quite sure
I'm not quite sure
I'm not quite sure where I'm gonna be
At least we get to see it for free
I'm coming out the door that I couldn't find
I never saw that pretty plate
I go around the block maybe once or twice
And wow, the neighborhood has changed
I'm not quite sure
I'm not quite sure
I'm not quite sure where I'm gonna be
But hey we get to see it for free
Nobody can taste their memories
But they treat me like I knew it before
In every situation, just like a new nation
I'm really just not quite sure
I'm not quite sure
I'm not quite sure
I'm not quite sure where I'm gonna be
At least we get to see it for free
I'm not quite sure
I'm not quite sure
I'm not quite sure where I'm gonna be
But hey we get to see it for free

Ohio
02:53

Fast as the East River flows
Bright light shards from all the condos
Taillights streak red and they make your face glow
It's getting late but I don't want to leave you
Hold it for my sake and yours
Like the promise you made in Ohio
Down in the fog by the lake we spoke
You showed each word and it made me at home
Time will set you free
As it slowly resigns from its burden

امید من،به آینده س
روزای خوبی،توو راهه
باید خوشبین به فردا بود
که عمر غصه،کوتاهه
تا قلبی هست و می کوبه
تا وقتیکه نفس دارم
نه می بازم،نه می افتم
توو سختی،کم نمیارم
بگو خوشبخت خوشبختیم
بگو دنیا،به کام ماست
آدم با باورش زنده ست
حقیقت،پشت این رویاست
بگو خوشبخت خوشبختیم
بگو دنیا،به کام ماست
آدم با باورش زنده ست
حقیقت،پشت این رویاست
با هر روز که،شرو می شه
مث یه کوه انگیزه م
مث یه کوه انگیزه م
که ریشه،توو زمین دارم
با هر لرزش،نمی ریزم
به این حس،اعتماد دارم
که یه نیروی برتر هست
که راه و نشون می ده
توی هر کوچه ی بن بست
بگو خوشبخت خوشبختیم
بگو دنیا،به کام ماست
آدم با باورش زنده ست
حقیقت،پشت این رویاست
بگو خوشبخت خوشبختیم
بگو دنیا،به کام ماست
آدم با باورش زنده ست
حقیقت،پشت این رویاست
بگو خوشبخت خوشبختیم
بگو دنیا،به کام ماست
آدم با باورش زنده ست
حقیقت،پشت این رویاست
بگو خوشبخت خوشبختیم
بگو دنیا،به کام ماست
آدم با باورش زنده ست
حقیقت،پشت این رویاست

Hail
02:41

I used to know always know the right words to say
I could charm any heart
Until one day, my tongue ran away
With your sneaking around all that I held dear
You came a little too near
I saw a thief take my poetry
Took the book that my dad used to read
I looked out the window to try to see you
But all there was, was hail in June
Tracing every letter I can recall
Before the words are gone from my mind
I knew every phrase but now they hide
No, I don't wanna lose those precious lines
Where else did you lie
Now I'm searching every bookshelf there is
To find where my childhood died
Dreaming with Dawn's left hand in the sky
In the bar, another voice cried
I saw a thief take my poetry
Took the book that my dad used to read
I looked out the window to try to see you
But all there was, was hail in June

Paper
02:21
|
|

A subtle tear slips away
He stares at paper anyway
Down the street, the power's out
How can he find his way
Another minute, another day
A school of fish on the way
Staring at his neighbor's lawn
The paper hasn't changed
Oh, do you know where they go
Oh, they have nothing to show
Oh, will you tell it so
'Cause the paper needs to go
The paper sits on his desk
Coffee stains me, such a mess
I've gone too far, he's in distress
Watch him turn to rest
The seconds pass, by the way
his fingers hurt, but anyway
I sit and stare at his face
The question's in his head
Oh, do you know where they go
Oh, they have nothing to show
Oh, will you tell it so
'Cause the paper needs to go
Where does it go
Where does it go
Where does it go

Take It Back
02:21

Four days with four days without, it always ends just ask it comes to be
The world is spinning just to play with me
Fill my glass with empathy, as I try to find myself
Through the eyes of someone I cannot see
My independent identity keeps spilling into everybody else
These melancholy memories, they take my youth and taint my innocence
If time could go in reverse, would I even take it back
Question me for who I am, force my hand and break the dam
In my mind, you'll fade unless you choose to stay
This bed I cant' sleep in, It's just like the one at home
But you don't look at me no more, am I a ghost
My independent identity keeps spilling into everybody else
These melancholy memories, they take my youth and taint my innocence
If time could go in reverse, I wouldn't take it back
