REASON IN THE WAY
all these days,
won’t seem to matter anyway.
when on my way down,
over the calm and idle crowd.
there’s a reason in the way.
it’s hard enough to make it,
without the bored and chained.
it’s hard enough; it’s hard enough yeah.
with my will denied,
my mind would suffer all the time.
but i’m in need.
it’s the closest i’ve been with it under my skin.
there’s a reason in the way.
it’s hard enough to make it,
without the bored and chained.
it’s hard enough; it’s hard enough yeah.
believe me please.
it’s only the way i am.
you have no time for me.
without a cause or i would be,
pulling dirt around myself.
but now i’m lost without myself to let me down.
all these days,
they find me enamored about the way,
i feel now.
tied their ways around me,
tight enough to weigh me down.
there’s a reason in the way.
it’s hard enough to make it,
without the bored and chained.
(...without the bored and chained)
it’s hard enough; it’s hard enough.
a reason in the way.
it’s hard enough to make it,
without the bored and chained.
it’s hard enough; it’s hard enough yeah.
IF I CARED
i know it’s all for nothing,
but my heart can’t stop pumping.
i’ll stop at nothing to be yours.
yeah....
lets take a walk outside and,
see just how the world’s working.
i know that it is so wrong.
but look into these eyes and tell me if i care.
if i care.
if i care.
they look at us just like we’re,
we’re doing something wrong but,
i know the difference.
so let these on-lookers,
just... just watch,
watch and learn; just watch and learn.
watch and learn.
nobody knows,
why i feel so low,
why i don’t want to show.
everybody knows,
why i take so long to prove to you that i’m wrong and...
do i care?
and do you care?
and do i care?
and do you care?
i know it’s all for nothing,
but my heart can’t stop pumping.
i’ll stop at nothing to be yours.
DENIALS OF A LIFETIME
will you comfort me when i need you?
i’ll believe you.
alone and taken in,
by me taking my time making,
up for you and me.
when i knew better, yeah i knew better.
alone and taken in,
by me taking my time making.
all the wrongs i’ve done and will do.
anything i could do for you.
so why do you,
fight to undo all that i do?
it seems a familiar time.
when it’s a cold one, like an old gun,
you’ve pointed at my head.
i could never recover from your temper.
took down my defenses.
feel this solace taking over.
a lifetime left to wonder,
could i feel this way any longer?
you know i’ll never know.
you know?
so will you comfort me when i need you?
i’ll believe you.
alone and taken in,
by me taking my time making.
all the wrongs i’ve done and will do.
anything i could do for you.
took down my defenses.
feel this solace taking over.
a lifetime left to wonder.
could i feel this pain six feet under?
you know i’ll never know all you know.
GROWING YOUNG
someone calls you back,
from being young, young.
don’t look back,
it’s growing old, old.
you are the same.
and you can’t blame.
don’t look for me i’m gone.
you’re on your way and you’re too far.
don’t hold your breath ‘cause i’m gone.
you’re on your way it’s far too hard.

CHANGE AND PATIENCE
you won’t believe, all that’s happened to me.
i’ve been too far down that road.
i fear i’ve lost my soul in a wave so cold.
can’t you see, all that i have to be?
i’ve been caught up in this storm,
in the place my fears were born.
we don’t want to be,
in the way of this peace.
i’m well aware that i’m,
in need of patience sometime, yeah sometime.
i can’t pretend, all has come to an end.
though my conscience has been torn,
over the faithful i’ve been wrong.
inside, it’s been too quiet tonight.
reflected shadows in this stream,
rippled memories of my dream.
we don’t want to be,
in the way of this peace.
i’m well aware that i’m,
in need of patience sometime, yeah sometime.
you know the way i’ve been it’s,
hard to feel sometimes.
it’s hard to be this way, when i’m fallen.
but i can never change.
i can never change.
i can never change.
i can never change.
oh the way i feel, it’s so hard to deal,
with you.
to deal with you, and all these things i’ve been through.
makes it easy on me now,
knowing i can let you down.
you’re no friend.
now change and patience offends.
we’ve been caught up in this storm,
in this place my fears were gone.
we don’t want to be,
in the way of this peace.
i’m well aware that i’m,
in need of patience sometime, yeah sometime.
we don’t want to be,
in the way of this peace.
i’m well aware that i’m,
in need of patience sometime, yeah sometime.
GO AWAY FROM ME
i watch them sigh.
i watch them sigh.
simple this and simple that.
if you call me i will come.
if you want me i will run.
i want you to go away from me...oh.
i want you to take what’s left of me...oh.
it used to be hello,
now i walk away.
goodbye.
it’s “la la la la la la,”
never took away from me.
you always looked at what used to be.
never let me see.
i don’t know what to say.
you need to tell me what.
i want you to go away from me...oh.
i want you to take what’s left of me...oh.
i want you to go away from me...oh.
i want you to take what’s left of me...oh.
i want you to go away from me...oh.
i want you to take what’s left of me...oh
LONG ROAD
don’t search for words unspoken.
my soul i’ve dredged its deepest depth.
though it’s secrets kept.
to hold all this pain into me.
i’ve lured myself to feel this way.
the more i stay.
you don’t understand, why i’ve been down.
you don’t understand,
it gets to me; it goes through me painfully.
my good intentions,
were baptized in the crowd,
of contradiction.
to scream this dream aloud when,
i’m too in-tune to care.
wasting all my time.
drop all these fears around me.
there’s much too much indignity,
in this case i plea .
for these i’m thankful but all regretful.
to talk it over breathes in doubt.
you know it’s a long road killing my soul.
you don’t understand, why i’ve been down.
you don’t understand,
it consumes me; it endures me painfully.
my good intentions,
were baptized in the crowd,
of contradiction.
to scream this dream aloud when,
i’m too in-tune to care.
wasting all my time.
dried up these conversations.
removed, induced to feel this bad.
though it’s all i had.
trading off, a pain for worry.
push back this time that i’m inclined.
you know it’s a long road killing my soul.
you don’t understand, why i’ve been down.
you don’t understand,
it consumes me; it endures me painfully.
my good intentions,
were baptized in the crowd,
of contradiction.
to scream this dream aloud when,
i’m too in-tune to care.
wasting all my time.
DREAM
walking slowly home i stop to tip my hat.
the numbers lost but i don’t care about that.
my body’s cold, i stumble to the ground.
i shake and turn and,
silence is the sound.
what is all this for?
what is all this for?
i can’t take anymore.
i can’t take anymore.
my mind is sore.
my life’s a bore so...
you call me back to this dream.
i watch your eyes as they follow through.
this can’t be all it seems.
wake me up and show me you.
it all turns to strange.
the door opens just like a maze.
my search goes room to room to room to room.
then in front of me i seem to glimpse in a haze,
a figure, a reflection of my own sick tomb.
you call me back to this dream.
i watch your eyes as they follow through.
this can’t be all it seems.
wake me up and show me you.
i don’t want to do this anymore.
it’s all too much.
i can’t complain ‘cause i know i can absorb,
one more day, one more way.
this is all i know and it’s all i’ve got.
stop pushing me down, stop pulling me down.
i can’t take anymore,
‘cause it’s all i’ve got.
just one more day.
just one more day.
DOWNED TIME
i’m fallen,
from this pretense of bliss.
these old ways offend me here,
through my eyes and ears.
dare they try to call,
but they never get time,
no they never get time.
we’re all a lesson earned through time.
hold back when i need it.
too late,
i feel i’m far enough away.
we’re all left fallen in this place.
old friend,
i’ve been burdened with this again.
hung my head with this old noose,
that some may call my youth.
dare they try to call,
but they never get time,
no they never get time.
we’re all a lesson earned through time.
hold back when i need it.
too late,
i feel i’m far enough away.
we’re all left fallen in this place.
hold back, hold on.
i’d feel it’s all for nothing.
won’t find my way again.
i feel it’s all worth something else.
i’m fallen,
from this pretense of bliss.
these old ways offend me here,
through my eyes and ears.
dare they try to call,
but they never get time,
no they never get time.
we’re all a lesson earned through time.
hold back when i need it.
too late,
i feel i’m far enough away.
we’re all left fallen in this place.
hold back when i need it.
too late,
i feel i’m far enough away.
we’re all left fallen in this place.
INTRO
ask me for a favor.
tell me what to savor.
don’t wait for me to speak.
don’t wait until i’m weak.
it’s so wrong, for you to be so strong.
it’s tied down, pressure’s all around.
when winning doesn’t count,
that’s when the tension starts to mount.
lost in time, so divine.
that’s what makes the intro.
watch me bring it back.
want me for what i lack.
show me all my time.
let me see what’s mine.
it’s so wrong, for you to be so strong.
it’s tied down, pressure’s all around.

all my fault.
watch me.
(...watch me)

all my fault.
DIVERSITY
fine days i’ve wasted in this mourning state of mine.
by now the hope has passed me by.
all doors wide open, i feel all broken.
up on the ways of change,
and on my way.
so comfort me,
and i will be no enemy of her.
having no time.
no way to make it on my own.
though i’m faithful,
you don’t need a reason to warn me i’ve already.
diversity, it’s not far enough apart to pull me.
further the hope from me, my mood and mind,
and the nine times i’ve been restless in my prime.
i’ll regress, i know i feel all hollow.
up on the ways of change.
yeah, up on the ways of change.

DIME
two burdens on this dime.
it’s temporary this way.
who’s shut; wide open less?
who won’t forget who cares best?
we’re all wearier this time.
i’d be ready for the pavement when it comes my way.
i’d be ready for the pavement when it comes my way.
cold fever in my room,
to make indifference of these walls.
offer me, alone these days,
enough to need it this way.
down my innocence this time.
i’d be ready for the pavement when it comes my way.
i’d be ready for the pavement when it comes my way.
i’d be ready for the pavement when it comes my way.
i’d be ready for the pavement when it comes my way.
my days have gone.
ended by my own naiveness.
oh I’d believe, if you’d understand.
let dark break the day.
with my eyes covered I’d see further anyway.
oh I’d believe, if you’d understand.

SOMETIME
well nothing still feels this way.
its choking hands around my mouth again.
feeling down now, i’m broken down now.
this old feeling, an older meaning.
just to feel this sometime.
just to feel this sometime.
pulled my thoughts down with me,
‘cause she’s put in my head all the things i can’t forget.
it’s the high tide in my shallow mind,
that makes me feel so deep,
when there’s nothing over me.
feeling these days won’t break my fall,
when all these knots we’ve tied have come undone.
breathing in drowned, don’t bother now.
this old feeling, an older meaning.
just to feel this sometime.
just to feel this sometime.
pulled my thoughts down with me,
‘cause she’s put in my head all the things i can’t forget.
it’s the high tide in my shallow mind,
that makes me feel so deep,
when there’s nothing over me.
believing we don’t feel this way.
your choking hands around my mouth again.
feeling down now, i’m broken down.
now anybody want to feel this way?
anybody want to stay this way?
just to feel this sometime.
just to feel this sometime.
pulled my thoughts down with me,

SEEKING A FAVOR
we’d heed for the calling.
or rather this the way we thought,
we’d talk about it again?
i don’t believe,
that we talk too much.
though i’m restrained,
when we don’t feel enough.
i sought a favor,
‘cause we need one.
don’t turn to me to face the crowd.
when it’s too late in time for this now.
yeah it’s too late in time for this,
when i don’t know where we’ll go,
but it’s time we ought to know.
i don’t believe,
that we talk too much.
though i’m restrained,
when we don’t feel enough.
when i know, i know, i know you don’t need it.
when i know, i know, i know i can’t be there.
don’t pretend to feel this way again.
why can’t you listen to me,
when my soul breaks into me?
when i know, i know, i know you don’t need it.
when i know, i know, i know i can’t be there.
don’t pretend to feel this way again.
so why can’t you listen to me,
when my soul breaks into me?

don’t pretend to feel this way again.
