Two Days Ago
03:11
|

|
(Chorus)
Maybe everything was in my head
Maybe nothin's ever really said
But if it was, I'd really like to know
That I'll still have two days ago
Spend some time staring at the ceiling
If nothing more than to pass the feeling
A little time without a sound to steal you
Take some time to let the silence heal you
(Chorus)
Just some time to get to know the real you
Just a chance to get to really feel you
Nothing more and nothing less than this
Just a moment that I'll always miss
(Chorus)
Spend some time lost in thought
And lost in you, 'cause it's all I got
No place to go, no place to me
Just me and you, and you and me

Brick By Brick
02:15
|
|||
|
Oh God I wish I could turn off my brain
The thoughts are always floodin' in like rain
My sleep don't ever bring that peace that it should
It just reminds me of what I could-
(Chorus)
I built this whole thing up, yeah, brick by brick
But I've been pickin' up the pieces, and it makes me sick
It doesn't really matter, 'cause I know that it's true
It all falls apart no matter what I do
I been blown over by the winds of change
But I got up and I was still the same
So here I sat for the longest time
I sat and watched as the world passed by
(Chorus)
I wonder if I'm the only one...
To wonder if I'm the only one...

Shadows
03:58
|
|||
|
Lately, I been dreamin'
In my head, I'm screamin'
I been misbelievin'
In everything I knew
I have heard you callin'
Still I didn't fall in
Line, and now I'm crawlin'
Just to make it through
No, I
I Tried
But I
Can't Hide
I wake up, now I'm seein'
This whole world, without meanin'
I know I'm not dreamin'
Dreamin' without you
Lately, I been fallin'
No ones heard my callin'
Here I am, I'm callin'
Callin' out for you
No I
I Tried
But I
Can't Hide
Won't you save me
Won't you save me
Won't you save me
Won't you save me from
These shadows I'm trapped in
(Won't you save me)
These shadows I'm trapped in
(Won't you save me)
These shadows I'm trapped in
(Won't you save me from)
These shadows I'm trapped in
These shadows I'm trapped in
(You can't save me)
These shadows I'm trapped in
(You can't save me)
These shadows I'm trapped in
(You can't save me from)
These shadows I'm trapped in
(Solo)
These shadows I'm trapped in
(Won't you save me)
These shadows I'm trapped in
(Won't you save me)
These shadows I'm trapped in
(Won't you save me from)
These shadows I'm trapped in
These shadows I'm trapped in, won't be everlastin'
These shadows I'm trapped in, no they won't be the last thing
These shadows I'm trapped in, will fade with the past and
I'll see the light one day soon
I'll see the light one day soon

Every Mornin'
04:35
|
|||
|
Well, I'm callin' out to someone
But there ain't nobody there
I think I'm up to somethin'
I can feel it in the air
Blame it on the boredom
Blame it on the sun
But if you're lookin' at me, honey
Well, I ain't the one
(Chorus)
Cause, I feel it every mornin'
In the back of my head
Every single mornin'
In the back of my head
Yeah, I feel it every mornin'
Every mornin' til I'm dead
I been sittin' in this prison
I been rottin' in the dust
But if I stay here any longer
Well, I might start to rust
It's like walkin' on the water
It's like blowin' in the wind
I'm just askin' for a pardon
I'm just lookin' for the end
(Chorus)
So I'm just another fool
Just uh, foolin' himself
(Just a fool, in himself)
Just another fool, yeah
Too good for himself
(Chorus)
Well, I tried to sleep it off
Just uh, lyin' in my bed
(Just a lion, in my bed)
But I can't get no sleep, no
And I won't until I'm dead
(Chorus)

(Feelin' So) Low
02:58
|
|||
|
I been scheming
Day dreaming
Quietly screaming it away
I been feelin'
Base-stealin'
Why don't we give it all away?
(Chorus)
Oh no, feelin' so - oh
Oh no, feelin' so - low
I been stallin'
Collect-callin'
Fallin' further all the way
Remakin'
Double-takin'
There ain't no other way to say
(Chorus)
Caught in between, a
A horror scene, a
Mystery you won't believe
A cheap hotel
With no stairwell
Eyes are easy deceive
(Chorus)

I Know A Girl
03:15
|
|||
|
I know a girl
Well, she's a special thing
She likes to play your heart
Just like a guitar string
And I know a girl
She doesn't mind the rain
She likes to sing and dance
She likes to bring the pain
(Chorus)
Now, when she come around
Oh lord, you got to know
Oh, when she come around
She never take it slow
I know a girl
She likes to lose herself
This kinda girl
Ain't never by herself
And you know the girl
The type to always take
She'll leave a thousand men
Splashin' out in her wake
Oh
I know a girl
You know she breaks the mold
She ain't afraid to leave
You standin' in the cold
I know a girl
She's always lookin' fine
But it's a shame
She's too afraid to shine
(Chorus)
Oh, when she come around
Oh lord, you got to know
Oh, when she come around
She never take it slow
I know a girl

Killin' Time
03:42
|
|||
|
Feelin' like somebody, but not feelin' like myself.
Feelin' like somebody trapped inside somebody else.
Thinkin' about somethin', but not thinkin' for myself.
Thinkin' about somethin' once, thought by someone else.
(Instrumental Chorus)
Waitin' here for somethin', but I'm really not sure what.
Waitin' here for something to straight hit me in the gut.
I never been a killer, but I guess I'll have to try.
I never been a killer, but I need the time to fly.
(Chorus)
Killin' time before it can do the same to me.
It only closes in and it never sets you free.
Killin' time before it's gone and took my health.
Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll be someone else.
Waitin' here for someone, maybe waitin' for myself.
Or I'm waitin' here for someone to save my from myself.
I know i'm losin' somethin', it's gone away with time.
I know i'm losin', somethin', baby, maybe it's my mind.
(Chorus)
Feelin' like somebody, but not feelin' like myself.
Feelin' like somebody trapped inside somebody else.
Feelin' like a killer with every single lie.
I know i'm killin' someone, I just hope that it's the time.
(Chorus)

Dandelion Fire
04:12
|
|||
|
You're as pretty as a dandelion fire
Your eyes shine like a diamond in the rough
You're not one to cry on any shoulder
You're much too busy being much too tough
(Chorus)
Oh, there's something
Something to you
Oh, you got something
To hold onto
I like the way you look inside that corset
So, won't you put it on, girl, just for me
Your heart's an open book, I don't mind reading
You're as gentle as a sunlit summer breeze
(Chorus)
If you'd like, well, I could take you somewhere
But, anywhere with you is fine with me
You remind me of a Pineapple Sunset
There's nowhere else that I would rather be
(Chorus)
You're lovely like a waterfall at midnight
You're quiet like a pillow factory
I find it kind of hard when I am falling
To keep both of my feet in front of me
(Chorus)
(Interlude)
(Chorus) x 2

Girl's Got Eyes
03:14
|
|||
|
Girl's got eyes like a hurricane
She's got those eyes that you can't explain
Girl's got eyes that'll make you weak
I said the girl's got eyes so you just can't speak
She's got those eyes that can make a scene
I said the girl's got eyes, if you know what I mean
She's got those eyes that you gotta know
Girl's got eyes that can put on a show
(Chorus)
Girl's got eyes, so divine x2
Girl's got eyes like a shooting star
She's got those eyes that can see real far
Girl's got eyes that'll make you see
I said the girl's got eyes that'll set you free
She's got those eyes like a loaded gun
The girl's got eyes like she's the only one
Girl's got eyes like the setting sun
She's got those eyes she can set to stun
(Chorus)
(Interlude)
Girl's got eyes like the milky way
She's got those eyes that'll make you stay
Girl's got eyes like a work of art
You know the girl's got eyes that'll stop your heart
She's got those eyes like you never knew
The girl's got eyes you can see right through
Girl's got eyes of the deepest blue
You can fall right in when she's lookin' at you
(Chorus) x2

Frayed
03:10
|
|||
|
I got these voices, inside my head
Pullin' needles, pushin' thread
Feelin' lonely, they'll take the blame
They're callin' out, screamin' your name
(Chorus)
(Would you rather?) I can't say
(I would never) Anyway
(Would you rather?) I can't say
(Now or never) For today
Been so long, I can't decide
Just who is who, and who am I
Gettin' desperate, wasitin' time
Without the reason, where's the rhyme?
(Interlude to Chorus)
Goin' down, and spread too thin
Losin' all I had to win
Comin' loose, I hate to say
Comin' loose, my edges Frayed

She said it's lonely here, and nobody really cares.
Oh, how she hates this place, and life just isn't fair.
She never talks that way, unless she's all alone.
She never talks that way, unless she's goin' home.
(Chorus)
She said, home ain't where the heart is,
Home just makes her sick.
Home ain't where the heart is,
It's just a pile of bricks. (x2)
She said it's dark in here, but she really doesn't mind.
That way no one can say that, they saw her cry.
But I swear I heard her crying from a half a mile away.
I swear I heard her dying as I heard her say.
(Chorus)
Hey, Hey
I'd like to say that I can dry up all her tears.
Cause no matter where she is crying, I can hear.
(Chorus)

Shimmerin' For Me
03:11
|
|||
|
And so the lines begin to blur
The things that are, and the things that were
They run together, start to fade
Today looks just like yesterday
These lights around me start to dim
I know i'm all alone again
The only light that I can see
Ain't shimmerin' for me
No, the only light that I can see
Ain't shimmerin' for me
Shimmerin' for me
Shimmerin' for me
The only light that I can see
Ain't shimmerin' for me
But things get better everyday
I just pretend it all away
And though I've learned one thing for sure
Some things get harder to ignore
And you can't make it very far
Not even knowing who you are
But the only light that I can see
Ain't shimmerin' for me
No, the only light that I can see
Ain't shimmerin' for me
Shimmerin' for me
Shimmerin' for me...
No, the only light that I can see
Ain't shimmerin' for me...

It's nights like this I feel alone
A message left upon the tone
Another dollar, 'nother day
Time to throw it all away
(Chorus)
I sit alone in a quiet room
Feelin' the same as I always do
It's an easy place to wander to
The loneliest of avenues
It's times likes these I never know
A broken thought from long ago
I knew it once, but I forgot
To draw the lines, connect the dots
(Chorus)
It's night like these I don't recall
A mystery I'll never solve
It's cold outside, or is it me?
Or something else that's haunting me?
(Chorus x2)
The Desperate Man ---
It's lonely here inside my mind,
The kind that doesn't fade in time.
My broken thoughts collecting dust,
A lack of feeling, lack of trust.
I find it hard to speak at times,
But silence breeds the darkest crimes.
It's getting loud inside my head,
These kinds of things are never said.
Like the monster in your dreams,
Things aren't always what they seem.
It's funny how, with open eyes,
Even truths look just like lies.
I'm running out of patience, I'm
Running out I'm wasting time.
I'm counting on a changing mind,
And while I count, I'm losing mine.
In desperate times, the desperate man
Wages all, because he can.
Not one to think, not one to plan,
He goes all-in on any hand.
I played it off the best I could,
But didn't fold the way I should.
A pair of twos, my bluffs been called,
The deck was stacked to watch me fall.
