Weight Of Millions 04:40
lyrics
buy track
Well I’m living inside this prison, looking out at freedom. I know what it means to be alone. And I carry the weight of millions, on their way to glory Who just turn out the lights when they leave home. When they leave home. So I made a phone call to God Tried to make some sense of it all. I said, Can’t you tell me - where do I fit in? He said, “Sit still. This might sting a bit. There’s no place you’ll ever fit. You can try, but they will always win.” They’ll always win. You’ll never win. [solos] So I sit alone in this prison, this dark and lonely room. Waiting for the time when I leave home. And I want the world to listen. I’m shouting out for freedom. But the lights go out and I’m alone. I’m so alone.

I know I’ve said it once before, I’m not really sure that it sunk in So I keep running away, and I should know by now that my running never wins I know how far down I have to go To find all the things I should already know And I know that burns on deep inside, and I can’t talk no matter how many times I try What I never saw was everything I was doing to you Its 4am and I should wake you up so you can feel this too What I feel is what I feel What I say is what I mean What I mean is that I can’t be lost like this It’s in my blood it’s in the air It’s everything its everywhere How did I get right here I see the words that you write to me again I was standing right here, you were standing on the ledge Come talk to me, you brought me back on track Its 4 am & now I’m here and I ain’t ever going back And I can’t remember when I used to care When I used to dare to climb this high And now I don’t know how to get back off the ground then skip the walk and move right up to fly

Rust 03:36
lyrics

Stands so tall as it touches the sky Built to last forever They come from miles & miles just to see Stronger than anything before Open your eyes You’re standing in line Where everything will turn to rust As strong as you are As tall as you stand Knee deep now, living in the rust Its might and awe are what remains But all your memories are painful Retracing words and the actions they caused Stronger than anything before Open your eyes You’re standing in line Where everything will turn to rust As strong as you are As tall as you stand Knee deep now, living in the rust

Breathe 05:32
lyrics

It feels like the ceiling's dropping And the windows turn a shade of black I watch as the sky is falling down, and I want I back But I try. I still fight. I believe it's everlasting. I can't feel what you want me to feel. So I drop. It won't stop. I can see it's coming back And I can't keep it from heading for me. But I'm trying to breathe. Yeah, I'm trying to breathe. It doesn't seem to take a lot of effort to bleed When you're trying to breathe. I don't want - to try another day. This floor is getting colder than the sky is gray. My chest is tighter, than it was yesterday. If I could roll back time... roll back time. I fall down, I lay low. It split my spirit in two. I don't know how long I can act like nothing is wrong. You look down, and find me, staring right back at you. There’s got to be a better way. And I'm still trying to breathe. Yeah, I'm trying to breathe It doesn't really make a lot of difference to me If you're trying to breathe. [solo] And I'm still trying to breathe. Yeah, I'm trying to breathe It doesn't seem to take a lot of effort to bleed When you're trying to breathe. When you're trying to breathe.

Trying To Forget 05:00
lyrics
buy track
Something's slowly killing her desires. She buys her time in case the morning comes. Well she doesn't look upset She lights another cigarette She's only trying to forget That she's lonely The pictures just remind him of his temper. He feels the need to burn her when she's gone. No he doesn't feel regret He sits alone at the TV set He's only trying to forget That he's lonely [solo] She's buried deep beneath the old azaleas Her withered bones will sink into the earth No she hasn't made a sound Since he laid her underground She's only waiting to be found But he doesn't feel regret. As he lights another cigarette. He's only trying to forget That they're lonely.

I 03:34

You see me on your television You hear me on your radio A million channels live into your living room And wherever else you want me to go I (x2) Now I’m not Elvis but I might be someone I might be sitting here alone So if you call and I don’t answer Just leave a message at the sound of the tone I (x2) I don’t know why, I’m so damn ugly I don’t know why, I’m so damn ugly Mother, your son is ugly Father, your son is ugly I am the reason you’re feeling stupid I walk beside you when you’re broke I force feed you all the food on your plate Then I make you laugh until you choke Now I’m not Elvis & I’m not Dick Nixon I’m not related to the Pope If I’m not home I’m at the store again Selling shit and buying hope I (x4)

Dodging A Bullet 03:41
lyrics

Darkness hides the scars beneath your eyes. We are the same. Your light, it blinds the memories in my mind. I’m not to blame for what I do. I feel your breathing as I press against your wall, my face against the glass. You’ll never notice I was ever here at all I’m in your past. And I stand outside your window, looking through. Yeah I stand outside your window, watching you. You think your prayers will help your soul to keep. Don’t even try. I watch you dreaming as you fall asleep. I feel alive. As I stand outside your window, looking through. Yeah I stand outside your window, watching you. [solo] Sometimes I stay, to watch you pray. Sometimes I stay, to watch you pray. I’m still standing by your window, looking through. Yeah, I stand outside your window, looking through. As I stand outside your window, I’m watching you. I’m watching you.

Virus 03:14

How does it feel today? You’re the only one that ever really cared But only about you You stand there, a part of me And watch me die a slow and brutal death I can only wonder where you’ll go…. YOU SHAME ME, YOU FEED MY OCEANS BURN MY RIVERS DOWN YOU BLAME ME, BUT YOU’RE MY VIRUS IN AGONY, WE ARE BOUND How did we get this far? I know I gave you every possible sign I gave you everything Now it’s out last dance With no way to undo what was done Now I just feel sorry for you

Stupid Things 04:08
lyrics
buy track
I’m afraid to turn away. It’s everywhere I look, It’s always where I’m going Now I have no point of view. Just one of no return. And that one keeps on growing Yeah I used to have a cause. I used to have a little hope. So I don’t mean to cause a panic I must be living in the past. Looks like we lost control. You’re only coming through in static Why do we care about all these stupid things? Everything you read will never make it any better Why do we follow all of these empty things? Its irony cause in the end we’ll find what really matters Now I can still hum the song. But I never learned the words They always were too hard. And I can hear it in your eyes. And I can taste in in your heart That you let down your guard. Yeah we were riding on that wave. A million miles high Just staring at the sun Now we’ve gone too far to turn. There’s no way to go back Yeah I hope we had our fun CHORUS SOLO Its time to forget, The writing on the wall You just need to be yourself And all the crying in the night. Yeah where do we go? Yeah where do we go? CHORUS We might as well spend our time with these stupid things No one wins; we lost our chance to make it any better

Little Dead Koalas 04:52
lyrics
buy track
I’ve got my cards laid out, and my soul is wearing thin. I watch you play your hand, so I nod and raise again. You're reaching for a plan and I can see what you mean. Your stares are calculated cries or so it seems. Well it’s been way too long, but I don’t think I’m ready for it. And I won’t play alone today. Well I’m just not that strong, and I don’t feel like fighting for it. But I won’t die alone. I’ll take you down with me. Like little dead koalas, no one blinks and silence speaks. So I reach for my blade, but I left it in my other jeans. You're reaching for a plan and I can see what you mean. Your stares are calculated cries or so it seems. Well it’s been way too long, but I don’t think I’m ready for it. And I won’t play alone today. Well I’m just not that strong, and I don’t feel like fighting for it. But I won’t die alone. I’ll take you down, I’ll take you down with me.

I held on Till I was cold and tired I felt so small looking at the sky I dreamed so big But I came unwired I let everything. Just pass me by I settled down To be nowhere, no how And some way, I lost track of the time So here I am now Yesterday’s winner Here I am waiting for a sign AND YET I’M FREE – BUT I’M ONLY AS FREE AS YOU WANT ME TO BE I don’t know how I found myself this way I don’t know how I found myself…
